Happy 4th of July!

Last night we went up to Jackson with a bunch of friends and family (including the Larue's, Katie and Kevan, Steph and Nora and her parents, Kyle and Kelly, and the Edens were there too!) to watch their firework show. Some may wonder why we'd drive 45 minutes away to watch fireworks when we have them in our own town (although as it turns out, this year they are being cancelled!). Well, in Jackson you sit on a grass field, and they literally shoot them off right over your head. It's incredible. Both boys enjoyed them very much, and neither were scared. Tyler was unsure at first, but eventually even got bored, and just wanted to climb around on us. Elijah kept screaming things like, "Look! Blue! Yellow! That was a big one! Red!..." It was precious.

Ryan made antennas with his glow sticks :)

The blurry object a couple times is Tyler's finger, lol. And the thing that looks on fire was an American Flag that was a firework that lights up with all the colors and everything, then eventually burns out... really neat!
