July is just flying by for us, so before too much time passes, I wanted to post about our 4th of July activities.
The day started bright and early for us (5:30 a.m.) since we decided to participate in the "Mile-Long-Plus" yardsale that they have in Hagerstown. It's done in our neighborhood as well as all of the ones surrounding us and it is a HUGE deal around here. Basically thousands and thousands of people show up from all over (PA, WV, MD, VA, etc.) to attend each year. We were only shoppers last year since we didn't realize what a big deal it was, but this year we decided to try to get rid of some of our junk (uh, I mean "treasures") as well. We made nearly $300 in just a few hours which we were really happy about. It's a nice way to meet people, make money and clear out unwanted household items all at the same time!
Later that night we had Tasha, Jeff, Coldon and the Merrill family over for a BBQ, some outdoor games, and fun with the Wii. Afterwards we all headed down to Williamsport to watch their firework display (and do a few sparklers of our own too!)
Some of our group waiting for the fireworks to begin...
Sparkler fun...
(Abby was terrified of sparklers last year, but she managed to hold one this year without screaming in terror. I think it helped that all of the other kids were so anxious to have their turn that she figured they must be worthwile, right, right?!?!)
Having a little too much fun with fire...
We enjoyed the short but sweet firework display as well. Overall, a wonderful day and we had fun celebrating our freedom and country with great friends and family!!

fun! what a cool yard sale. if we're around this time next year we'll have to check that out!
Oh my word, that garage sale thing sounds like my heaven! Seriously. I am a complete addict. $300 in a few hours? Amazing. We did one a month or so ago and seriously probably only made like $15. Lame. Glad you had a good fourth. That's probably so fun to be so close to Tasha.
P.S. not that you care, but the word verification spells "ignore". They never seem to actually be words. Fascinating, I know.
