Fireworks and Fun......

We had a great 4th of July....We slept in, watched some movies, bought fireworks, cooked out, watched fireworks at the mall, and did our own fireworks show at our house!

Here Brian and Shakes are waiting for the fireworks to start.....

Ben and Gabe enjoying some ice cream in the back of the van before the fireworks.....We sat in the parking lot in the front of the mall. We did not want to go to far from the van since it was supposed to start raining again..... The Grand Finale.....
Ben and Gabe enjoying the fireworks....Ben decided to try to take some photos with his cell phone......
This year we decided since the boys were older we would get some different fireworks for them to set off. Here is Brian explaining them to the boys and all the "rules" with handling fireworks... Here they are watching the fireworks go off......
After the mall fireworks were over we came home to set off the rest of our own fireworks...Even Brian was getting into the action....
These fireworks were just green smoke! Real exciting......
We placed sparklers in the ground and lit them......
Beau enjoying some sparklers.... Ben among the smoke of the sparklers......
The boys were setting off some under the porch and the smoke would just linger under there....luckily our neighbors were also setting some off or they may have called the fire department.....
Gabe having some fun with sparklers too....
Beau and Ben trying to light something Beau designed in the ground. It really looks like a bonfire!
The boys thought the fireworks this year were the best.....They can't wait until next 4th of July!
