4th of July

On the 4th we went over to my Mom's house.  The boys played in the sprinkler and slip and slide which they loved and played with squirt guns.  They had so much fun!



Then we went home and were going to put the kids to bed.  We figured, "oooh we did fireworks last night we should be good."  Not so, Riley remembered that the last two years we went to the Tigard Fireworks show and he was feeling ripped off!  So Lane and the boys went and bought a few fireworks.  Once it was dark all the neighbors were lighting theirs and it really was good.  Not to mention the fact that on all sides you could see the illegal fireworks going up.  So it worked out good.  We didn't have to battle the traffic out of there after all.


3rd of July

On the 3rd we went to my Dad's house.  Just like last year he had the boys wear their safety glasses- a definite COOL factor.

Riley and Jeremy's favorite part was getting to light them and run.  They took that very seriously as you can see below.

Tyler liked watching the fire works but was totally freaked out by the sounds.  We put some ear phones on him and that seemed to help but he preferred to enjoy them from a distance!
