4th of July

This was the first year we got fireworks to celebrate 4th of July with the kids.  They didn't love the loud ones, but overall they had lots of fun.  We stretched it out over several days.

I can't remember what were were shooting off that required sunglasses.  And for the record, I tried to get Evie to stop sitting like a rag doll on the gravel, but she rarely listens to reason.

Evie was really getting into the snapping things, although she only made a few snap...

Samuel liked these too.  When Evie's wouldn't "snap" she'd go looking for them to try again...

On night #2 we shot off some bigger fireworks...

And of course sparklers.  Samuel did pretty well, but it was a little nerve wracking watching Evie with hers...
