- It's the Fourth of July today.
There's gonna be lots of treats.
I gotta say.
And we're gonna have a barbecue,
we're going to
do fireworks.
(June screams)
They go like this,
"Boom!"
- What do you guys remember about the Fourth of July?
- Well.
- Why do we have the Fourth of July?
- I don't know.
- Carson why are you copying me?
- I don't know.
- On this day in 1776,
the United States of America became a country.
So today, we're gonna do a little barbecuing,
we're gonna do a couple fireworks
and celebrate the Fourth of July.
- Oh. - Wait, but how are we going
to get the fireworks?
- We're gonna go to the store right now
and buy whatever fireworks we want.
- Some are not legal to be
booming here.
- [Dave] Well yeah, we'll do the ones that are legal.
I feel like it's been a while since we did a vlog,
so why don't you give us a couple updates
of what has happened in our house
since the last time we had a vlog.
- These are used to be dots.
My mom got this.
We got a new piano.
(low piano notes)
Sounds great, doesn't it?
- If you watched our video last week
we had our first video
of Ashley playing the piano and Claire sing.
Go check it out cause it's one of my
favorite videos of all time so far.

We built a closet,
so
let me turn on the light.
So this used to
be blocked out.
But now we have a new wall.
This used to not be a door.
We made a door.
So that's the update.
Let's go Cars.
Shoes on.
- So the flowers that are--
- Wait, Mom, I don't have my Fourth of July shirt.
- What's your Fourth of July shirt?
That is it.
Red, white, and blue.

- Kay, so that's a small part of the video
that we're coming out with--
- [Claire] That wasn't even small!
That was the whole thing - It's gonna be probably
a couple weeks, maybe two, three weeks.
And speaking of new videos,
our Easter video is finally gonna be done.
It's gonna be out next Friday
so that's finally done for those people
who have been waiting a long time.
So our new little studio here
is still kind of a work in progress.
We're trying to put foam all over these walls.
The problem we're having is we can't get the foam
to stay on the walls very well.
They keep falling off.
- And we used the dots to stick 'em.
- [Dave] That's not staying up, is it?
- I love the dots.
- What are we gonna do today?
- [Claire] I don't know.
- Each day we're doing one little part this song
to record it.
I think we have-- - And sometimes--
- We only have two left.
- Yeah.
We only have "Be Prepared"
and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"
what you wanna do today?
- [Claire] Let's do both.
- Try to do both?
- [Claire] Yeah.
- Okay, let's do "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" first.
Record.
Here we go.
Here comes the cue.
♪ Can you feel ♪
♪ The love tonight ♪
♪ The peace that evening brings ♪
- Guess who joined us?
Carson, are you gonna sing on "Be Prepared?"
- Yeah!
- [Dave] All right- - Wait, no.
- No?
It's time for fireworks. - Fireworks.
Hello, fireworks.
- [Dave] June, are you gonna stay up for the fireworks,
or are you going to bed?
What do you think?
Stay in for the fireworks?
- Hello!
- [Dave] Hello.
You talking on the phone?
(phone slams)
- [Ashley] Uh-oh.
- [Dave] All right, there goes Mom's phone.
Let's start with those sparklers--
- Okay. - for you guys.
- The sparklers?
I love the sparklers.
- We're gonna do a few fireworks right now
while June is still awake
and then we're gonna wait for it
to get a little bit darker to do the rest.
But we don't want June to miss it.
You don't even care June?
You're just gonna ride a scooter?
- Yeah.
- [Dave] All right, see ya.
- [Claire] Mom, I wanna be the rainbow one!

- [Ashley] You don't wanna do it?
- [Claire] I've got it.
(laughs)
It's fun!
- I'm pretty scared of sparklers,
but I'll give it a try, I guess.
- [Dave] Okay, come on.
- It's all sparkly.
- Yep, and it won't get you.
- [Dave] It's so sparkly.
- [Ashley] Good job, you've got it.
Cool! - Now you can run with it.
Now you can run with it.
You wanna run? - Mama, it looked like
it was getting closer to my hand,
so I had to drop it.
- [Dave] What'd you do?
- Can I have another one?
I like those.
- [Ashley] Junie, where ya going?
- I'm almost scared of fireworks.
- [Ashley] Junie, where ya going?
- But I liked those.
Woo-hoo!
I'm already having fun when it's not lit.
- [Ashley] There you go.
Whoa. - Rainbows!
Mom, this one's better than last year.

I think it's gonna breathe fire.
- [Dave] You choose that one, June?
- All right, we found a little baby bunny
in the neighbor's backyard here.
- [Carson] I like bunnies.
- [Dave] There he goes.
- [Claire] Daddy, we have to take a picture of that.
Awh.
- [Neighbor] See bunnies and they were just
searching baby bunny photos
'cause they're adorable. - He's fast for a baby.
- You light this
on fire
and then it explodes.
- [Dave] Put it right on that board.
- Okay, light it on fire.
(fireworks crackle)
- [Claire] (laughs)
That's awesome!
That was Carson's. - Cool!
- Whoa!
That's amazing, Carson!
Wow!
- [Carson] That was the bestest one I ever got!
- [Claire] It's the bestest one I've seen.
That's amazing.

That one's awesome.
