4th Festivities

It worries me just a tad how excited these boys get for the fireworks on the 4th.  Something bad can happen so quickly; and being young, excited, and daring little boys can make for mom that worries a lot!  We decided to keep things low key again this year, Chris worked the day, and me and boys went and picked out some "kid friendly" fireworks.  That apparently I got told right away, "mom those are for babies!"  Well I guess my brother had taken him the day before to pick out some and lit them off at his house and Crew had more "big boy" ones to choose from.  Crew already takes on some characteristics that only his two uncles can relate to!  Oh dear it starts already!

Practicing a safe distance...

Poor Ky's you are just too little bud!

My version of a $50 kids pack of fun to be happily content with from a local firework stand....

Chris' version of a $50 night worth of fun!  A guy from work had connections out at the Res and got Chris a good deal---  You can only imagine the kids faces when he pulled this out of the truck after work--- I guess my fireworks were no longer very cool!

Ariana is so sweet and innocent, here she is reacting to my boys being funny boys, and the stinky smoke bombs they were lighting off!

Ky Ky getting some air of excitement from the smoke bombs!  He did it! (He really thought he lit them off...)

He walked around with his own punk, unlit of course, pretending to light off fireworks

A break for dinner!  We had a few neighbors over and Lindsay and Tom for a little BBQ.

Watching and admiring Chris' BIG fireworks!  Kys is really getting into it!

The night before we headed to my grandma's place for their annual firework show.  She had a bunch of siblings and their kids up from out of town so the boys had fun playing with the other kids.  The best part of the night is when Uncle Gerald does his firework shows which has to be one of the best home shows I have ever seen! 

Preshow sparkler fun!

These fireworks were LOUD, even I was plugging my ears... Brody was curled up, hat over head on Grandma Biv's lap.  Grandma said he got her own firework show on her lap...ha (Brodes must have been really nervous and scared!)

HAPPY 4th EVERYONE!!! :)
