happy 4th of july 2016!

posted by owen, eloise and everett

we had a fabulous 4th of july as a family. we participated in the neighborhood parade led by a fire truck and finished the parade off with a few yummy shaved ice treats. rather than go to a firework show, we decided to make one of our own (the safe kind of course). daddy had actually never done fireworks himself so he was hesitant with all the news of accidents. but he went and got some fancy fireworks including bang snaps, spinners, sparklers, a few bomb looking things and some rather large ones that gave us an entertaining show.

ready to light these things. daddy took advantage of the buy 1 get
1 so we had double these fireworks

starting off light, with a few bang snaps


moving on to the sparklers

of course sparklers require a steady base


being a firework newbie, daddy caught on quick

of course daddy took all precautions by using a grabber to
drop the big fireworks in a bucket of water. he said the
fireworks instructions said they could go off when you
think they are done. 

we loved the colorful show these fireworks displayed

to report that daddy was unharmed. i'm sure next year he'll
go crazy with the fireworks
