This year, we celebrated America's independence with Omi, Opa, Aunt Lisa, and Gershwin. Jon put together the new grill and made fantastic burgers while I fixed a ton of appetizers and snacks. Kira enjoyed her first 4th of July by hanging out for a bit in her swing while we dined and listened to the Capitol 4th on TV. Then it was time to head outside for fireworks in the backyard. Kira seemed to enjoy the fireworks, but Gershwin did not! He was especially frightened by the aerials that neighbors were setting off. It was quite a show, but Gershwin could not get himself far enough under the couch. Poor puppy!
