Stephen helped bbque the turkey steaks which are also always sooo gooood!
Gavin had to taste the rootbeer to see if it was ready. I think that he got full from being the taste-tester.
After dinner and before it got dark the kids threw their poppers on the basketball court. Here they are trying to hit some bugs with their poppers.
At first Gavin wasn't too sure about the poppers but eventually he figured them out and had fun.
Hunter in mid-throw.
Kylan seeing how hard he can throw it.
Beck loves the poppers every year.
After the poppers we did sparklers. Here are the kids as sparkler Jedi.
Sparklers
Beck loved these sparklers. They lasted a long time.
Even Stephen got in on the action.
While we waited for it to get a little bit darker for the actual fireworks we went back to the deck and made homemade rootbeer floats. These rootbeer floats were really good. We used some really good vanilla bean ice cream and then got some of the slush from the dry ice. They were kind of like rootbeer freezes. Soooo Goooood!
The kids really enjoyed them.
Everyone enjoyed them.
More rootbeer float enjoying.
Beck couldn't help but go back for seconds and thirds and...
When it was dark enough to start the fireworks we thought that Gavin would like them. I got his own little chair but he was terrified of them. Beck tried to console him.
When it didn't work I finally held him. Here we are watching the fireworks. Gavin is under the blanket so that he can't see them. Silly boy.
Nick and Kylan lighting the fireworks.
The fireworks were sooo goood this year also.
Thanks to my in-laws for making this such a fun day. We all had a great day!
