Our humble fireworks

We didn't do anything spectacular as far as fireworks go this year. We just lit a few off that Tara had left over from years past and we had picked up some bottle rockets. And Papa supplied a large amount of sparklers (sprinklers for Tara's sake!) It was fun to watch Eli's face as Isaiah lit off the bottle rockets (sorry - no pictures of him). He started out with a look of shock/fear with the initial pop of them, but he started laughing when they were finished.



I think Kaiya enjoyed the sparklers a little much. We got the kids glow necklaces when we were at the fairgrounds earlier in the day.



Even though it is kind of blurry, this was kind of a cool picture. Lighting fireworks by the back of the garage for the Old folks.


Kaiya and Kaden were doing sparkler planes, running in circles. When I did it, I managed to get sparks on Kaden's head. I am such an irresponsible parent! He was fine though.


It was misting a little, but the kids didn't seem to mind.


August enjoyed a more alternative way to play with his sparklers.

No bum hair was burnt in the taking of these pictures!
