Wow this has been a crazy weekend for us. We started the 4th off by going to a ward breakfast at Lowell Park. We were cooked pancakes, ham, eggs and some hot chocolate. Mike had never bought fireworks or even lit them off before so I took him to a firework stand and we bought a few things. He was so excited about even the Smoke Bombs. It was kinda funny. He is my little nerd that has been deprived all his life! We then went over to Jason and Audrey's house (My Brother and My sister in Law) to have a BBQ and watch fireworks. We had SOO much food it was disgusting. It seems like most holidays are filled with eating! Nathan (Audrey's brother) and Mike had a blast lighting off fireworks the entire time. They had some M-80's that shook the house and made all of our ears ring for quite awhile. Payton on the other hand wanted NOTHING to do with the big bangs that she wouldn't even go outside. Mike got a hole in his nice golf shirt and even burnt his finger. I guess that's what he gets for being a first timer right? After all the loud stuff was done, Payton decided to make her appearance and actually held a sparkler. Mike helped her! She had no facial expression and I'm sure she thought it must explode because everything else does. So since it doesn't get dark until like 10:00 pm here, it seemed like we were waiting forever to see the good fireworks. Payton was about to lose it but I sat her on the grass with me as we watched all around us and the show that Nathan and Mike put on for us. She was doing good until a firwork that was in the middle of going off tipped over and part of it flew in Jason and Audrey's garage and almost came right on top of us. Kinda scarey but nobody was hurt except a Golf bag. It was a fun day but very exhausting. Hope everyone had a good 4th.
You can't see the burn on his finger but you can see the white spec on his shirt.
