4th of July Party!

On Saturday we had a 4th of July party at our house. It was a lot of fun and we hope to have this be an annual tradition at our house! Everyone came over around 4:00 and the kids played outside, swam, etc. Everyone had a good time! Here's a pic of Addyson before the party:

Sweet Katie!

This was a small preview of the fireworks we did. Everyone turned into little pyros lighting things on fire! At one point Ryan thought it would be a good idea to put a firecracker in a container not specified for that particular firecracker and it exploded about 15 feet in the air sending Ryan's brother Dustin running for cover. It also set off a fire in the field adjacent to our house. Ryan put it out with a beer. Nice.

Our neighbor across the street put on an hour long firework show which was awesome to see. We were right across the street and so we had the best seats in the house! We can't wait to do it again next year!!
