Some friends invited us over to their home to celebrate 4th of July. We had a LOT of fun! We started the evening with delicious barbecue chicken and some fantastic salads. The kids ran around playing with water balloons and jumping on the trampoline. Then it was time for the fireworks. As you can see in the following pictures, the kids LOVED the fireworks and could not get enough of them!
Kailyn used Ava as an excuse to go inside out of the hot weather and to avoid the loud cracking of the firecrackers and fireworks. She's never been a fan of the loud noises of firecrackers.
Jordan waited for each firework display with great anticipation. Sadly, Jordan was not feeling well, explaining her jacket and blanket in this 88 degree temperature. She had a fever all day the next day, too. The poor kid had goosebumps without her jacket on. Meanwhile, I was wiping away sweat by the gallons.
Caden enjoyed the fireworks, but had to plug his ears.
Chase, too.
Sometimes, Chase needed a little extra help plugging his ears.
Luckily, there were treats to enjoy. This picture really doesn't do justice to the patriotic colors that Chase put all over his face. It was much more noticeable in real life.
Thankfully, there were Sparklers. Kailyn fluttering about with her Sparkler.
Caden at first a little nervous . . .
. . . then very confused
Chase ecstatic to be holding fire in his hands.
And Jordan and Ava, keeping the grass from floating away.

I guess Kailyn will never make it as a bedrock driller. She would make an excellent librarian. Looks like you had a fun fourth!
Love seeing how much fun you have together!
