Firework Fun

Yesterday was the 4th of July and we had a barbecue at our house with Kevin's family. Angela, Jon and Savannah came over, though Jon had to leave early because of work. Kevin's other sister Lisa was also there, but also had to leave because of work. The rest of us hung around so we could light the fireworks we bought the day before.

When Kevin's mom came back home from taking Gigi back to Japan, she brought back a bunch of goodies for us all, but mostly for the babies. Abi got these jammies and Savannah got a matching pair.

Once it got dark enough to see the fireworks, we bundled up the babies (because it was a little chilly, surprisingly enough) and set some chairs up on the front lawn.

Kevin and his brother Aaron (aka the pyromaniac) were the show masters.

Once the fireworks started, Abi decided that they were too scary and Grandpa had to come rescue her.

Savannah didn't mind the noise, but she did look so cute!

Yes, I did take pictures of the fireworks like a hillbilly. Here was one of the good ones, though it's hard to capture on camera.

Oakley sort of pulled a weird face in this picture.

The night before last we went to Cyprus High School to watch Magna's firework show with my mom, sister Dorthy, bro-in-law Rory, their son Rowan, and my little sister Sarah. It turned out to be a great spot to watch because it's close enough to see the show, but far enough away to not be so noisy for the babies. I didn't have my camera, but wish I did because Rowan was glued to the fireworks the whole time. Abi, however, fell asleep about half-way through. God bless America.
