4TH OF JULY

For the 4th of July we were invited to a friend's house for dinner and fireworks. The kids have only seen firework shows we have never done fireworks ourselves so this was definately an experience. Tyler loved all of it. As he was holding a sparkler his words to me were "Mom, look I have fire." A little scary to hear!! Shelby wasn't too sure about having fire in her hands. Once they started the other fireworks the loud noises scared her and she just wanted to sit in my lap and cuddle under a blanket to keep warm and plug her ears. After about a half an hour Tyler sat down with us and asked "When are the fireworks going to start?" I couldn't help but laugh. I guess he was waiting for the sky show so we had to explain to him that what we were doing was fireworks. He seemed a little disappointed that there wouldn't be any big sky fireworks, but he got over it quickly and we enjoyed the rest of the evening.
