Our First Fireworks

OK - it is hard to believe that we haven't brought the kids to see fireworks until now but... it's true. I am not a fan of crowds and I am less of a fan of the after events traffic. This year we decided to meet our friends for a fun night. Our church decided to have a big celebration on the church grounds. Even with all the chaos of the crowds - I am so glad we finally took the kids for some fireworks fun! They LOVED it!
Here is HC once her chair was set! She was so excited! JB was not happy. He sat in his chair and felt like it was a baby chair. This set the mood for him to let off some steam (I really hate to point this out but I must - in the pic above you can see JB's croc that he threw b/c he was so humiliated that he had a baby chair. his chair is the light blue on HC's right side - see how little it is!). He was not so thrilled to pose for me. To be honest - his chair is too small for him now but we rarely use it and didn't realize this fact - until it was too late!
Cheese!
JB recovered and sat with Dad while he watched the lights!
HC and her friends LOVED it! They would squeal and giggle after every boom!
Here are a few of our fireworks! This first one is turned the wrong way but.. it is still neat.

We hope everyone had a fun time celebrating with family and friends!
