Independence Day & Fireworks!

The girls were excited about wearing red, white & blue. They were excited about going to the cottage. They were excited about saying "The 4th of July!"..... but!.... they were NOT so excited about the impending noise of Papa's fireworks. They were nervous about how loud they would be. This would be the first time they would stay up and watch the show. I was a bit nervous as to how it would all go as well.... Olivia doesn't even like the noise of the lawn mower!




Throwing "Snaps" on the ground... Oooo! This is fun! We don't mind this noise!


Throwing them at Papa's feet is a riot!




Ice cream with friend Will

Sophie waits for the show to begin

Will gives Evie a lap dance???? Actually he is trying to convince her to do sparklers with him I think :)

Our friends light off a lantern before the fireworks show

The whole lake lets off the lanterns at 10p.

The fireworks begin... And Sophie watches them in Grandmas lap - with earplugs :) She loved them!



Even Olivia who ran upstairs in the cottage as soon as the fireworks started, ended up coming down with her daddy. She watched the fireworks on my lap - no earplugs - and loved them!!!! I was shocked!
They were tired kiddos on the way home :)
