Happy Independence Day!

When we decided to buy a few fireworks this year for the 4th, we weren't all that excited. But once we got to one of our gigantic tents (there is honestly one on every corner), we realized that we weren't in Vegas anymore. We have WAY better fireworks here and they are so much cheaper. So we both were like kids in a candy store. We spent about $50 and got anything from bottle rockets and Saturn missiles to fountains and black cats.

So we started our day at Cracker Barrel with a delicious breakfast.
Here were are waiting for a table.

Being Silly

And here is Elise, just hanging out.

And Dallin with a full tummy!

That night we went over to Matt and Rosannes house for Coles Birthday/ Independence Day. Happy Birthday Cole!We shot my dad's handgun before it got too dark, which was a lot of fun. And then we had tons of fireworks. More than we had time to shot off actually. Dallin was down there with all the big boys lighting them off. I love the way Rosanne, my sister in law, put it, "Around here nobody is too young to light fireworks. As long as you can walk and hold a match you're good." SO true! It was really loud, but apparently both of my kids are use to the noise because it didn't seem to bother them at all. All and all it was a great holiday!
