The 4th Of July Celebrations...

The boys (Mike included) could hardly wait for the evening to start!  This is by far one of the funnest holidays for the "boys team"!  When your 9 3/4 and 8 years old, handed a box of fire works and a lighter to set them a-flame with you go into a wierd sort of eurphoria that can't be understood by any on the "girls team"!  So needless to say Dale Drew and Mike had a great time sunday night blowing things up...

Cole kept a vigilant watch with his mini-sword of Laban and binki.

Laura and I dabbled a little with sparklers but really just wanted to ooooohh and ahhhhhhh!

These glasses made any kind of light look even prettier...
