Day 185 - Happy 4th of July!!

When Mark and Bethany went on vacation a few weeks ago, they stopped on the way home and bought a bunch of fireworks to do at our cookout on the 3rd.  Well, after the boys got to do a few little fireworks, they were determined to get some big stuff for tonight!   Mark, James, Matt, and Matt's buddy, Ryan, all chipped in to get a whole bunch of fun stuff.  Yesterday, I posted Katelyn showing off her fireworks...well, here's Daddy showing off his, lol!!

The boys (and Bethany and James' sister, Leslie) had a blast setting off fireworks and two of our neighbors had them as well, so our whole neighborhood was lit up!  We had quite the fireworks show and we never left the house!!   After watching them set off a few Roman Candles last night, Katelyn was determined to set off a few of her own.  (This picture looks WAY scarier than it actually was, lol!! My camera had a long exposure and filmed the whole trail of the thing as one long path, it really just shoots out small green and red balls.)
