4th of July - Oh My!

This year we had a laid back 4th of July. No big family event to attend! Instead, the 4 of us + my parents went to Ronnie's house. Alan was there also. We ate BBQ and sat around - it was quiet and relaxing!



BUT, Uncle Alan bought a bunch of fireworks for the kids! He seemed to know just what the kids would like and they spent time throughout the day doing various fireworks. The kids had a blast & I think Uncle Alan enjoyed himself as well!


A shot of the kids and their Uncle Alan, ready to start the fireworks!


Sparklers were up first! Avery dove right in - Andy was a bit more timid.



But, he relented and tried one for himself!


Avery took it one step further by having 2 lit for her and dancing with them!


This is a giant sparkler! Alan bought 2 of them. Avery did them both because Andy wanted no part of a sparkler that size! I've never seen these before, but they are way cool :)


Uncle Alan assisted Andy with shooting off a roman candle.


Just a cute shot of Avery!

Daddy and Andy posed for me! Yes, I know, he looks just like his daddy. That's why I need another so I can get one that resembles me a little (Wade, are you reading this??!!).

And one last cute shot of a sleepy Andrew to end the day :)
