4th of July...

Every 4th of July (that we are in town) we get together with our friends, the Stepp's.  This year we grilled out hamburgers, hotdogs and chicken and had enough food to feed a small army.  Then, we enjoyed our yearly firework show and this year we seemed to have a lot of fireworks.  We had 3 other families join us during our show (2 of which we did not know at all).  I told Tony we need to shoot off fireworks more often so we can meet more neighbors. :) 

 Our 4th of July dessert, Strawberry and Blueberry Trifle.

 The kids enjoying Pop-Its.

 The guys are setting up for our big show! :)

 One of the first fireworks Dave shot off was extremely loud and shot out sideways.  It caught all of us offguard.  The kids named this particular firework the "purple dude".  We soon discovered the other "purple dudes" did not act like Dave's "purple dude" so Dave's must have been a "purple dud!"  Glad no one got hurt!

 Enjoying the show... Mama Cook, recognize the beads??

 Reece enjoyed doing Sparklers.

 Riley lighting the firecracker and then running...

 Just pretend these are in the air and it would be like an "official" show.
