While we were away for half of July (pictures coming soon, promise!), we were just as busy through the rest of it. American Independence Day rolled around and we invited the family over for hamburgers and sparklers. Dad got to stand outside and grill the burgers in the cold, rainy winter weather and ponder how to get some ‘real’ fireworks into the country. There was a disco for the end of the term at school — apparently costumes were NOT optional. Finally, Dad and RJ rocked out at the AC-DC exhibition at the WA Museum.

A few pictures from our annual 4th of July party. The neighbours think we’re a bit strange, but most play along pretty happily. It all balances out when we decorate on January 26th for Australia Day.
Yes. I know. Sparklers are lame compared to the crazy, exciting IEDs fireworks that you get in America, but we’ve got to have something!
A little bit of patriotism from LR.
RJ getting the stars hung up properly.
LR getting the Stars and Stripes hung up properly.
Looking great guys!
By chance we had a fantastic sunset that night!
We followed our hamburgers and hotdogs with an exciting race around the front yard. Mom's plants caught the worst of it.
RJ was a big fan of the sparklers.
Is that sparkler number three for you LR?
Grammy helps T get her sparkler lit.
