4th of July

We had the BEST 4th of July this year!

The kids are old enough to have fun and stay up later.

Grandma Evie and Papa Hoyt were generous enough to give the kids some firecracker money.

We made a HUGE production over getting them!



































We went to several tents.

Yeah, they sell the same stuff.

But it's much more fun when you get to go to a couple and stretch it out!

Then we went over to Mimi's for an excellent BBQ dinner...ribs, grilled chicken, pea/lettuce salad, festive jello, etc.  It was great!

I enjoyed it so much, I rolled in it.






































Stupid belly and stupid BBQ sauce.

Then we went outside and lit some fireworks.

The favorite daytime ones are always the parachutes.































They had the BEST time chasing these!  

Totally should've bought more.  I don't think the 8 or so we bought were enough.

Daddy was the official lighter for the evening.










































Then we did one rocket.






































And various other fun fireworks.










































It was topped off with ice cream and some awesome big fireworks put on by the city.

Everyone had a great time.
