4th of July

Sadly my sister & her family headed back home to Wisconsin today :( They were supposed to stay until tomorrow but they had just moved into a new house last week & wanted to have at least a day to start unpacking before the work week started.

So it was me & my brothers left to run the fireworks show for the evening. All three of us had bought a bunch of fireworks earlier in the day so we were all excited to shoot them off once the sun started going down.

We all ate leftovers from the anniversary party the night before & then headed out to shoot some bottle rockets, smoke bombs, snakes & the group favorite - the Naughty Dog :)

Mason really liked the little cars that sped off when lit & then blew up. Daddy of course was there to help & supervise:

 Smoke bombs were another hit with the littles:

The bigger kids shot off the "older kid" fireworks with my brother....mostly bottle rockets, showering cones & roman candles:

 

My other brother Steve helped Mase light fireworks also:

The adults just sat back in our lawn chairs with our beers watching the show & making sure the kids didn't burn themselves! It was an awesome evening spent with my family & we talked about how we should make the July 4th holiday an annual event at the farm - just like we did when we were kids.

Sadly tomorrow we all head back :( Not looking forward to the 7 hour drive home but am thankful to have made the trip & the time spent with my family!

Hope you all had a safe & wonderful 4th of July spent with your loved ones!
