4th of July

For the 4th this year, we celebrated 3 days in a row! Ethan was in firework heaven.

Monday the new subdivision near our house had a "neighborhood firework party" that we were invited to. I didn't take any pictures of that, but there was a good turn out! There were tons of people gathered and everybody just brought treats and fireworks. The fireworks were just in a huge pile and a few guys lit them all. There were kids everyone and they all seemed to have fun!

Tuesday was the night Logan did their firework show. We decided to go get pizza and take it to the park and have a picnic and let the boys run around and play before the fireworks started. They had a blast running around and playing on the playground.


We had a small mishap where the sprinklers decided to turn on where we were sitting. I heard them coming on and grabbed what I could to move it out of the way. In the process I got sprayed in the back and the butt. It made for a chilly rest of the night. :)


My mom and Debi came and watched the fireworks with us. It was fun, but seemed like a lot less than usual.





Wednesday the 4th we went up to the Collin's house. Todd and Ryan were super cute with Ethan and let him help them light all the fireworks.

Todd and Mart lighting Ethan's sparklers:


Ethan loved the sparklers as usual. We had about 50 leftover from last year when Kace brought over a huge box! After we got started with them and pieces were falling to the ground, we realized that we should have made Ethan wear shoes instead of sandals...whoops. He didn't get burned, thank goodness.




Lincoln wasn't a huge fan of the sparklers. He had a hard time with the fireworks on Monday but was starting to get used to them on Wednesday. He just didn't want anything to do with them that close to him!


We told Ethan to be Harry Potter and wave his wand around.



Kace was playing with him too!





Our third day of fireworks. Ethan kept asking for more even when we were finished! He loves them!













It has been a fun week. Happy 4th of July!
