Burning Something...

The kids and I made it to Washington just in time for the 4th of July with the Hubby! We missed him too much!

We had a great weekend visiting with Dana and her family in Yelm and then down to Battleground where we did fireworks with Lurlyn & Leif and the kiddos! I love when all the kids get to play together! They get along and don't get along perfectly. I love it!

We went to a block party of one of Lurlyn's friends. It was really cool. All the adults were hanging out in their lawn chairs, meanwhile all the kids were running around sharing sparklers. When it got dark enough, the adults let off the grown up fireworks. I don't mind sitting around watching other people burn their money. ;)

I got some great pics of the kids enjoying themselves!

Tiger loved the sparklers... so much so, he grabbed his cousin Sophies. :'( Poor little man... it hurt for a second but then he wanted to grab them again. All boy.

This is Aubri's cousin Leify. aka her best buddy. aka my boyfriend. Funny story... I was standing in the street watching all the kiddos with their sparklers and Leify comes up to me, wraps his arm around my leg and says, "mommy, I want to burn something!" I got a huge laugh out of that and proceeded to let Lurlyn know she might have a pyromaniac on her hands. ;) Lol!

This is Aubs letting off a Roman Candle with her dad. She loved it and normally she isn't very brave to do things like that. She begged to do more.

This is sweet Sophie! She is a pure doll and spit fire wrapped up all in one. I love her. She calls me mama Cole. :)

Picture overload after the sun went down. I couldn't just choose a couple. I like them all, so I'm sharing them with you.
