Fire Crackers

We had a 4th of July dinner at Nana and Papa's house and then went to Sabrina and Tim's for some fireworks. This is Jared's motorcycle...the kids really wanted to ride it :-)

Emma had her hands over her ears the entire time. This is really the first time our kids have seen these fire crackers; they are banned where we live.

My sister's family put on an impressive show. The kids thought it was cool.

They got to check things out up close and were very excited to see what each different one would do.

There were even snappers. At first the kids threw them to the ground to make them snap; then they discovered it was easier and more fun to just jump on them.

Emma was brave enough to hold a sparkler.

Marcus wanted to try on Jared's helmet and sunglasses. Cool Dude!

Olivia did quite a few sparklers...Ta Da...

Even Marcus did some sparklers.

Taylor invited the kids to sit on her car a safe distance away from the big fireworks. The grand finale was awesome...but loud too :-) It was a blast!
