Food, Family, Fun, Firearms, Fireworks

Happy 4th of July!

We headed to Wyoming where the fireworks are big and legal!

Food

Delicious T-bone steaks, beans, drinks, birthday cake, fruit, desserts.... Yumm!

Family

We had a blast with family and seeing Jadeyn romp around with a few of his cousins. He did his best to keep up and loved it. Melanie's family, Danielle's family, and of course Kevin's parents and Jessica. Grandma Pete even came to visit!

Fun

There were piano and dance performances, lots of laughs and tickling, hours in the sandbox, trampoline time (yup, me and Kev can still to a flip on the tramp, but we're a little sore!), Lyman parade (horses, tractors and firetrucks).

Firearms

Kev and I got to finally shoot our new guns. We headed to the "green hills" and did a little target practice with Kevin's dad and Nathan, Melanie's son. It was a blast! We weren't even too bad at hitting the clay pigeons! A little sore on the shoulder from getting used to my shotgun and still getting used to the kick on Kev's 40 cal Springfield XDM.

Fireworks

No place better to go for your own fireworks than Wyoming. Four giant warehouses all in one block full of fireworks. A bit of cash later, we were stocked up! Kevin just can't resist the tradition of blowing stuff up. Smoke bombs, sparklers, rockets, fountains and then the BIG ones! They were great. Jadeyn loved them; he clapped and cheered. Kevin, being the Optometrist present, had to set the example and wear his eye protection! :)

Sparkler Time!

All in all, it was a great weekend. A wonderful way to celebrate living in America!
