4th of July {Family Vacation 2015}

our little firecrackers on the 4th of July

Mom, it's too sunny

To celebrate the 4th of July we went to one of my Dad's friends house. They had tons of activities for the kids including a pool, trampoline, playground and of course fireworks!

Kolter wasn't so sure about the cold water

the big kids loved swimming

Kolter decided he wanted to enjoy from the sidelines…he had plenty of attention from all the doting adults

Sawyer loved wearing flippers

Sawyer and Nora staying a safe distance from those lighting the fireworks. The older girls would light the parachutes and the little kids would go running

Kolter was happy to find a ball (i.e. used smoke bomb)

We had a wonderful 4th of July. It was the perfect weather…hot during the day and cool in the evening. The fireworks display was amazing for a private residence. We even had the excitement of a small fire. Kyle and Papa went running to help and Sawyer was so serious and adamant that he needed to help put out the fire. Perhaps he has watched too much Paw Patrol ;) Thankfully, it was put out quickly and the wonderful show continued.
