Our friends, the Goldade family, came to visit us for the 4th of July. We spent the day having a ton of fun. The kids played toys, burned some energy running around outside, ate lots of food, and of course - FUN SNAPS for everyone!!
This was my attempt at red, white and blue punch. It looked pretty for about 2 minutes. It didn't taste as good as I had hoped it would. We had a few other red, white and blue themed foods - like three layer jello, strawberries, bananas, and blueberries, and popsicles.
We were going to head into Moorhead for the big fireworks show, but as we drove by the neighbors we noticed they had a nice display set up. We turned around and parked along the road for the show. It was actually a pretty decent show. As a bonus we saw fireworks from all four directions in different towns and neighborhoods. One of the coolest sights were random lanterns that people lit and let go. Later in the night Darren counted 12 of them floating one right after the other. It was a little like the Tangled movie.
The Goldade's left around 10:30. They had a long drive to get home. We drove into town and down one of the gravel roads to watch some more fireworks. We were able to see the Moorhead fireworks and between 8-10 other firework displays. You could look anywhere on the horizon and see fireworks.
Tonight we let the boys use up the rest of the fun snaps. The main goal was to get Mom's feet. Those crazy flashes of color in the pictures are the boys running away from their dad and each other.
Poor Gianna just had to sit in the stroller. Boohoo.
Sparklers for the boys!! I like to think of it as mosquito control.
Awesome Letter U, Brech Earl!
