Last week was kind of crazy for me so I will just tell you about our Pioneer Day celebration. We decided to celebrate on Saturday the 21st since Brad didn't get the 24th off from work. In the afternoon we went to my parents' house for a pool party and a barbecue. I totally forgot my camera! Aleah and Cade are getting so comfortable in the water. It was fun to watch them play in the pool. Aleah could have stayed in the pool all night if we had let her. After the barbecue we headed over to my house for some fireworks.
The plan was to light the little ones first and then get the kids in bed and then when it was dark light the big ones. Well, that didn't happen. So Aleah and Cade ended up staying up until 9:30. Which made for a really hard Sunday!! But they LOVED the fireworks.
Brad and my Dad trying to decide which ones to light first.
All the kids waiting for the fireworks to start.
Our packet came with these torch things instead of sparklers. I didn't think that they were as cool as sparklers, but they were safer for the kids. I guess it is fun as long as there is a stick with fire on it and you can wave it around!
Every time Brad did a big firework Cade would say, "It's going to be a loud one." and all the kids would cover their ears.
They had so much fun and clapped excitedly after every firework.
Clean up was pretty easy since it was not too dark and we had two amazing clean up helpers!
