Fourth Festivities

The best part of the fourth was that we got to have some family time! That lately is few and far between. We started the morning at a flag raising and muffin pot luck church event. It was really good and patriotic. It was probably the nicest and prettiest July morning Kansas has ever seen. Cool, not humid, clear sky. It was perfect.

Cade loves Americana colored things. The night before the 4th  he set out red, while and blue clothes to wear including underwear :)
Then Cole worked a little bit and the kids and I did some packing. Then we had a BBQ at the institute building with the branch and hung out and played afterward.  We have some friends in our ward and in Cole's program at school that invited us to do fireworks with them. They had bought a ton. So our family and a few other families got together later that night to shoot them off. I had never done my own fireworks before but it was really fun. Not crowded, we got to control how long and where, and then no traffic when we left. Cade has been looking forward to fireworks for like a month now. He really enjoyed himself although he still covered his ears. Rylee was a little impressed but was more into the candy and treats that were there. 


Happy faces on our way to fireworks



The men. If you can still call them that after all the giggling they did. They really enjoyed blowing things up.
