4th of July: pictures being the main event, apparently...

"Let's get this party started!" (big, welcome change from last year in Idaho where she spent the majority of the time inside looking at fireworks from the window. Rhett was asleep :)
 Respectable, excited distance...

You know sometimes when you have adorable kiddos who are excited and don't want to take a picture, but Mom insists so you end up spending more time on the picture then on the actual event? 
Enjoy.
 Kiddos: cute   Me: peek-a-boo?
 Rhett: cute, Ari: Whaa? Me: up the nose and...why do I look like I'm hiding behind Ari again?
 Ari: cute, Rhett: bug! Me: Arrgg...I'm going to get you matey...
Kiddos: ADORABLE! (see the sword fight goin' on?) Me: Cheeeessee
 Good enough. We're all happy pointing our whatever-they-are's at the camera :)

preparation...
...assistance
 Sharing the joy--look at those faces! My kind of fireworks :)
True love: sparklers...no fear in Rhett-meister and see how you can barely see Ari's sparkler from all the waving she's doing (& do you love her jammie pants as much as I do)? Our 4th's are usually pretty low-key since we have littles and no bigs (boys are always gone for it), but this was super enjoyable. Happy Birthday America, we're so glad we live here.

p.s. The Amish are totally into fireworks, who knew?
