4th of July, July randoms

Independence Day was spent at a Scorpions Soccer game with a fireworks show after the game.  We were able to get free tickets through the Military ticket office.  It was a good game and we had friends sitting a few rows behind us.  The kids surprisingly stayed awake to watch the fireworks.  They had a fun time banging the Toyota sticks together.

The library had a special guest, Spikey Mikey, he performed a magic show and talked about reading as a special power.  The kids enjoyed his silliness and I was very impressed with a few of his tricks.  He left me wondering how he did a few things.  

Waiting for the show to begin.

Fully captivated

On the 4th of July we decided to see the movie "Brave".  It was a great movie but I didn't realize how scary it was going to be.  The boys did great though and didn't show any signs of being scared.  Landon did pretty well the whole movie, he either sat on my lap or he was messing with the empty chair next to me. 

After the movie we went to a friend's place to light off some fireworks that they had purchased.  The boys had lots of fun being able to light up and throw the fireworks.  We did manage to have one casulty.  Landon ended up burning his finger and thumb on a sparkler.  :(  It wasn't too terrible but it took forever to finally heal. 

Hope you all had a fun 4th!

4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July this year even though there were no fireworks allowed due to the 2nd worst drought in history.  I thought ahead though and bought us some sparklers online so we could have a little fun.  We did enjoy watching the fireworks on TV from NY and would love to go see it live one day.  It was awesome. 

Happy 4th of July

I also want to wish my brother Trace a Happy Birthday!
