The Fourth and the Fifth

Our fourth of July was spent with family celebrating my sister M's birthday and letting the boys do a few fireworks before Mother Nature's firework show started up later that night.
The boys and their cousin S were a mixed bag of excited and confused of the firework show that Uncle C and Daddy put on in the driveway.

 Some of them were a bit bright for their eyes.

 The neighbor kids joined in the fun. These are some buddies that Big H loves to play with!

 Little H's first sparkler.

This was taken shortly before the sirens went off in Moorhead telling us all to head for the basement. Needless to say the boys were up too late that night from the excitement of it all.

On the fifth we had our chance to see the real deal over at our "special spot"  by MSUM. Big H obviously remembered and enjoyed. Little H did not remember and thought they were quite loud, but intriguing.

What a memorable 4th.
