Independence Day 2016

fourth of july sparkler photo

Last year I took the kids out to their Aunt Doe’s house to experience fireworks for the first time and this year we did it again! I think it’s gonna become a new tradition! In this first picture you will see 4 kiddos and the rest you will only see 3 of them. That’s because Presley was not a fan of the loud noises! Even her big sister, Anistyn, doesn’t like them but she braved it by putting her hands over her ears and my kids did the same. Oh, and please ignore my daughter’s bright orange shorts…she had on navy blue ones but got them wet and had to change.

I have to be honest and say I wasn’t gonna let my kids play with sparklers. I could just see them lighting someone else on fire or burning themselves! But they did great!

I can’t wait until next year when Evelyn and William are big enough to join in and maybe Presley will join in the fun too. 🙂
