We had a BUSY day on the 4th! It started WAY too early with babies crying all night long for their bottles. We babysat Rachael's 7 month twin boys the night before and it sure interrupted our sleep alot! =)
Then, we got up at 7am to get ready for the ward breakfast activity. We ate, visited, and Aaron played a few games of badmitton, volleyball, and baseball. (Check out Aaron's outfit for the day in the pics. He picked it out himself and was SO excited to wear it!)
After buying paint for our hopefully new house and hanging out with some family and friends we headed over to the fireworks party spot. Several families got together at a friend's house to cook out and bring on the explosives. There was several hundreds of dollars of fireworks. From the kid friendly ladybug (my pick) to the roman candles and sparklers. Then, once it started even REMOTELY getting dark--the big boy fireworks came out. Man, our husbands were so excited and kid-like! I will admit, they were some impressive fireworks for it just being a home party. Aaron even ended up burning his thumb and a hole in the lighter he was holding. He's the hulk...he think he's invincible like him, too.
The night ended late with a special blue light special. On our way home we got pulled. Apparently Aaron didn't move over a lane when someone was being pulled over in the center lane and jerk-of-the-year wanted to make sure we knew it. Oh well. It was just warning. Oh, by the way, if you ever move--make sure you change your address on your license ASAP because "it only takes 2 minutes on the internet". That's all I'm saying...
We all enjoyed the 4th! I'm pretty sure I know two men that are going to be scouting out the fireworks stands for clearances---just for an excuse to play more. I'll keep you posted!
