Here is the happy guy himself.
We had a ton of fireworks for the kids. They loved the parachutes. Here they are retreaving a few of them.
Addi Jo just loves the pop or snaps, which ever is the real name.
The kids all took turn lighting fireworks in the street. I was very pleased that there was only one frighting moment and that was no ones fault. We had a rouge firework that took aim at the spectators seats. It ultimatly landed in the kids fireworks box which was quickly empied.
Addi and her sparklers. She just loves sparklers. I wish you could hear how she says it.
Hunter discovered the love of rockets. We did not have nearly enough for him. This one stayed pretty much in tack after take off and he tried to play with it. The only problem was Addi who was determined to throw it away, every single time she found it unattended.
More snaps
On the run for parachutes
More firework lighting. All the kids had to light their firewors during the day so Jeremy could do his at night.
Hunter and his sparkler. He was not such a fan as some sparks got on his ankle.
The night fall. This year was a bit of a damper. It rained just before dark. It was not bad at first, only sprinkles so we kept going. Then it got heavier. Eventually Jeremy got everything lit but we did have to take a few breaks to allow the heavy bouts of rain to pass.
It is hard to take pictures of fireworks, I am busy watching and none of the pictures turn out great.
I wish I would have taken a picture of the fireworks on the table before we started. It was massive, it was also a little scary if you thought about the amount of money spent.
Here is Addi taking cover under an umbrella with the neighbor boys girlfriend.
Here is the finale, it was way more impressive in person.
We hope your Independence Day was wonderful and fun also!!
