Seventeenth Passage

On Independence Day, after returning home from camping and taking showers and baths, we went to David's parent's house to light off fireworks for the kids. 

One of the first things we did were the snakes.  We let the boys light some.

 Lydia wasn't too interested in the snakes, so she found a cat instead.

This cat has 4 kittens, and each child got to name one. William named his Cutie, Morgan's has been changing, but I think the last time it was Sweetie Pie or something. Owen named his Nana Sugar, after David's mom. Haha! Papa helped Lydia name hers Rover.
Lydia LOVES the kitties. Here she is currently torturing Nana Sugar, I believe.

We did sparklers, which is always a blast.

Then we did the normal fireworks. The boys took turns picking the firework, then helping Daddy light them. Then they would run up on to the grass where the rest of us were watching.

After fireworks we sat around the fire and made s'mores. It was a fun evening!
