Fourth of July, Fireworks at friend's house

Tried to get there early to play...Dan always winds up in this chair, relaxed and at home when we're here. LOL...
Yep, we let the kids do fireworks, under the supervision of responsible adults.
The rest of us were inside drinking :-P
Fireworks stored in the garage, good thing too
As it was raining off and on, downright pouring at times.
The kids got to play in the rain AND blow stuff up
THIS IS THE LIFE! Woot!
Did you know that they make little roman candles?
They don't kick as hard, and don't shoot as far.
Not fun for the teens, but awesome for younger kids!
(and wimpy moms who jump and squeal when the candle shoots off)
If you think ONE sparkler is cool, you should see five of them!
Sam has such a good time, every year
Big 'un, from Josh
Rachel in the sparkley light
Big bang...
The rain *did* make it hard to light wicks
but they did it!
Over...
and over....

Fourth of July, BBQ at Aunts house

Tradition says we spend the day with my family, at my aunt's house, in Bethany.
Dad...with his cool new shirt
Avari, in her 'sparkle star' dress
Usually play outside, but it's so freakin hot.
The girls tried to get everyone involved in SkipBo, but really, not many people just play board/card games anymore.
But the boys did join in a bit
But as dark approached, a thunderstorm blew in.
We were nervous about leaving the house, much less driving to Mustang.
