On Independence Day this year, we went and watch a really spectacular fireworks display by a family just outside of Bartlesville. The next day, my mom had arranged for us to help clean up the mess from the festivities, so part of our family reunion was spent on a service project. I thought that was really great. It was truly amazing that with all the people that had attended, there wasn't much mess left behind by the spectators. Most of the mess was from the fireworks themselves. That's awesome that people were willing to take care of their own stuff at the end of the celebration. Somehow, I ended up with only one photo from the effort. It is cute, though, so I had to share.

My mom had bought some glow sticks for the kids, and we left them at the house that night. Oh well. So, we got to bring them back to California with us. The first Family Home Evening that we had after the kids discovered them, we used them for the activity.

| So, we tried it with the flash. That made things a little too bright. But they had so much fun anyway. |
