Fireworks!

This year was so rainy and cold that I wasn't that jazzed about going to watch the fireworks. But the kids were absolutely set on going, so off we went. We found out about this most awesome place to go. It is a country club and they have pony rides, jumpy things to play on, and cotton candy before the show. Then you can sit on the lawn and watch the fireworks. The most exciting thing about going this year was that My Uncle Jim and Aunt Laurie were visiting, so they came with us! The kids just love them! The boys just follow Jim around- they idolize them. It's the Aunt who took us all around California, and the Uncle that started up their knife and sword collection. I think the kids talked their ears right off! Jim showed them the website where he finds the deals on the knives, and so now the boys are dreaming about what they will purchase with their money. The last I heard, Brody was saving for a certain axe. He plans to hang it on his wall. Then if a robber ever comes into our house he can chop him down! Good plan Brody! Anyway, it was lots of fun visiting with Jim and Laurie and it means a lot to have you travel all this way! We love you!! The last picture is of my Dad. He had his coat zipped way up because it was so cold! Thank you Mom and Dad for always doing fun things with us! We love you!
