Frugal 4th of July

The kids are all home now from camp and I am one happy mama. I am so glad they had a great time this week. It's comforting to know also that I can send them off to camp without crying or worrying too much. Today we went to our family's annual 4th of July celebration. This event gets many extended family together each year at a distant cousin's home. We always have a wonderful time with plenty of food.

We came back home and all of us took a nice long nap and then got ready to go to Pelzer's celebration. This is our first time doing something in our new community and it was really nice. Pelzer puts on a fireworks show, plus many other events that are totally free. Free hot dogs, pizza, popcorn, cotton candy, shaved ice, train rides, horse shoes, volley ball, and a few of the blow up slides, etc. They also had a petting zoo and pony rides for a small fee. It was at the park, so it was nice and shady. The added bonus is that we saw several people from church that we got to visit with. Here's an amateur clip of part of the fireworks.
