4th of July 2009!

Happy 4th of July! We spent the day at my parent's house swimming in the pool and eating. They've been in this rental home since December and it was the first time we've used the pool. It also has a slide into the pool that we tested out. It's a rock slide and you can't just slide down it so we all used a trash bag (ghetto) to sit on and it totally worked! It was a lot of FUN and we did some jumps off the top of the rocks into the pool. Kira was brave enough to go down the slide with Vic but Logan wouldn't have anything to do with it. He's a bit more cautious with things.

We had a yummy early dinner and then all got ready to head out to watch fireworks. I can't remember the last time I did this... it's been years. So this was Logan and Kira's 1st time going to fireworks for the 4th of July.

Ohhhhh! Ahhhhh! WOW!!!

The FINALE fireworks!
While waiting for the firework show to start the kids had fun running around and playing. Kira I think was a little "crazy" since normally she'd already be in bed sleeping. She was a bit hyper running around in circles cracking up. Here she is using Papa's camera to take pictures.
Kira running around like a MAD WOMAN! Her sleeve on her dress kept falling off so she was running around practically half naked almomst. I had to change her into another outfit.
Logan made "friends" with a couple of adults who were playing with giant frizbees. They were nice enough to let Logan play with them. He had such a great time. I think there were a few times that he almost thru it into people's heads! Definitely something we should get for the beach.
Kira in outfit #2 still running around HYPER as ever!
When the fireworks started Logan was scared because he thought the "fire" part was going to fall on top of him. When he realized they would only be up in the sky and that he was safe he started to enjoy them. Kira just sat and watched. We had a GREAT 4th of July! Hope you all did too!
