4th of July



























We celebrated the 4th of July all weekend but I only had my camera while we were at my mom's house on the 4th. Claire,Olivia, Brandy, Jeff, Laurie, were all there and Bill and Lana stopped by on their way into town from Colorado. The kids were so excited about more fireworks. Paul and Mary had a bunch that they wanted to kids to light so they did those for quite a while. Hannah was excited about the smoke bombs and Will wanted to do all of the parachutes. Jack was interested in the big ones! As you can see from the pictures above, Max spent most of the weekend with his hands on his ears. He didn't get upset but he did not care for the noise. The past couple of days he now put his hands over his ears when I run the vacuum!


We also tried to explain to the kids why we celebrate the 4th of July and what it means to live in a free county. I think Jack "gets it" a little bit. Will and Hannah asked a lot of questions after I explained it so at least they were listening!
