I know this is a crazy long picture post. I should have just put all these on facebook.

I didn't realize how many pictures I had until I started posting them, and now they're loaded in backward order and I can't switch them around...anyway.

Here I am comforting Kate from the scary choo choo train fireworks.
Here Nathan is trying to comfort Kate from the scary night time fireworks.
Papa went all out and the kids loved it.


We had a couple hours until it was dark enough to start the fireworks, so the kids took 4-wheeler rides with Papa.
Here Claire is telling us how fun her ride was.

Claire on her ride.

It was also Alayna and Kate's bday party so I brought party blowers for the kids.

Alayna in her pretty necklace.
Just visiting. Scary sparklers.

More party blowers.

Alayna LOVED her lady bug cake.



Singing Happy Birthday
They wore us out after swimming and it was about 3 hours until firecracker time, so we had to put on a movie.

Enjoying some rockets.

Claire wrapped Alayna's present herself. She spent all 2 hours of Kate's nap time working on this. There are layers of tissue paper, streamers, ribons, and hearts.

It was a lovely 4th.
