Okay, maybe it's just my boys- but they love fireworks. If Lincoln ever hears anything that even remotely sounds like a firework, he is out investigating. And since we are currently living right next to Canyon Gate (they have an agreement with their community to provide fireworks 4 times a year) we get to see them randomly throughout the year. But that doesn't seem to quench their need for fireworks. So we have a little tradition going, that we get to go buy fireworks out at the Indian reservation and then shoot them off ourselves. And these aren't your run of the mill fireworks, these are the bog mortars that shoot up in the sky and explode. And before you ask, we don't shoot them off in town- that's the illegal part. So instead we go out to the Dry Lake bed for our extravaganza!
We invite friends and family out to enjoy the show. So the kids get to play a little bit as they have a little bit of time to kill before it gets dark enough for the show. We also make sure to have food- I mean what's a get together without food. ;) And overall it is just a fun time. Sometimes I wonder who has more fun- the kids or the Dads!
Rachel had a little bit of car trouble on the way home, so we ended up stuffing all the children into out car. Can you see that they were all a little tired!
