The 4th of July was a lot of fun. After Sam's world championship baseball game, we watched the parade and everyone made a killing! The amount of candy the kids walk away with after the parades, just grosses me out!
The fire truck came and hosed everyone down. I haven't jumped in, myself, but I've been told it's a little painful and a little dangerous with all the kids running and screaming and not watching where they go!
The reptile man came, and the kids just loved holding the enormous snakes. Even Chloe wasn't afraid to pick up the head of one of the enormous snakes!
That night, we did the little grocery store fireworks. Chloe loved them, but when they'd get really loud . . . . .
. . . . she'd get a little nervous and look for a place to hide.
Jake did the same thing.
Some of the fireworks were pretty loud!
Sam and Joe did a great job of lighting them up for us!
Of course, we had to have sparklers, and OF COURSE someone got burned! Never fails!
No, these aren't our grocery store fireworks, we hit the baseball diamond to get a good seat for the town firework show. They surprised us by setting them off from just behind home plate, and we were just camped out on the other side of 2nd base. So, it was pretty close and bright and RIGHT over our heads! The boys and Chloe got up and ran around in the outfield acting out a battle scene from some epic war movie. There was a lot of dying on the grass that night!
