The 4th of July is one of my very favorite holidays. The fireworks are always so much fun, and usually there are lots of friends, family and bbq-ing! This year we went to Jamie and Nate Websters' on the 3rd for a swimming/bbq. We had a great time, they had a pool for the kids to play in...
and salmon burgers and turkey burgers on the grill. We all ate our fill, talked and laughed and watched the kids play. Soon enough it was firework time. Since our kids are all under the age of 4 we just got some of the smaller fireworks, pop its and sparklers...
Kaeden and Luke threw some of the pop its, but not quite hard enough to make them pop, so it was mainly us adults (yeah right) who threw them at each other :-) All the kids had a good time playing with each other and toys, and we loved to see them wear themselves out.
The next evening, the 4th, our family gathered out in the backyard, traditional rootbeer and cherries on hand. There were tons of fireworks going off on our street and across the valley. Kaeden was wide eyed, watching intently, saying 'wooow' (very wall-e like) with the really big booms and lights.
The video below is really dark, but Kaeden is a hoot, I love the little gasps he gives whenever a new or loud firework goes off...
