The Celebration Continues...

After we got home from the reunion, someone had the great idea of going to get fireworks to shoot off at my mom's house. The only things the kids (mostly Carter) was interested in was getting the snaps that you throw on the ground and make noise. I think they went through 6 boxes in less than 30 minutes!


Ally was so girly when she threw her snaps that most of them didn't even make a noise when she dropped them!

I thought the pink smoke bomb was really neat, but the kids just kept saying that it was stinky!

The kids think that if they are at Gaga's house they need ice cream...so we took a little break and enjoyed the treat!

Carter thought the fireworks were really neat and wanted in on the action right away. Ally, on the other hand, had to be held and covered her ears most of the time!

The next day, July 4, we went to church and had a picnic. After naps we went over to a family friend's house for swimming and ribs!! This was Carter (and Ally's) first time to jump off a diving board!

It was late, but we decided to take the kids to the firework show up on campus. It was their first time to see "big" fireworks and the anticipation was more than they could handle!

It was a great weekend with lots of family time (one of my favorite things!). Happy Fourth of July (a little late!).

"Someone" wanted to shoot fireworks? How about Courtney - the person we had to hold back at the fireworks store from loading up the entire store's worth of fireworks!
