Fourth Fun!

Well, this is actually the only picture that I got

from our Fourth Party.  :(

It got late and dark and the boys would not be still.  We had a great afternoon of food, friends, fireworks, and fun!

We had food, food, and more food - gumbo, hotdogs, banana pudding, homemade ice cream, watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, and puppy chow!

We were able to watch fireworks here in town.  Many towns cancelled their shows due to the extreme drought that we are experiencing.  Luckily, we still had fireworks and no fires.

The boys were quite disappointed that they were unable to have sparklers and small fireworks this year, but it was just not worth the risk.  Instead, I bought them red, white, and blue glow bracelets.  They had so much fun with these!

This is where I would like to insert some great pictures, but it just didn't happen.  Sometimes, I have to reluctantly step back with my camera and just let the kids make memories.

So, imagine this!  Cordell and Ayden connected the bracelets and tossed them into the air and spun them around for a great show.  We put a bracelet on each of Sutton's ankles and watched him run around in the dark. 

It was a great time, and probably a new tradition!
