There's gonna be fireworks!

Early to rise for it is a Sunday and church was the order of the day!!  Afterwards off to my parents' house for some more celebrating of the 4th of July.  We had lots of fun, food, and fireworkds.  Yup my Mom found out they lifted the ban on fireworks in the state of PA so off to the store she was to purchase some for her grandkids.   My family loooooves pyrotechnics.  And when given the opportunity to get some they will.  You see years ago we would obtain them out of state and set them off illegally!  But now.... we can enjoy without the chance of a fine.  My family was so on board that idea.   

It was a nice small number  - of people - my parents, Aunt Dee, Jason, Jaide, Tiffany, and us!   The kids really enjoy the family time and it was especially sweet seeing Joshua so very excited to see Aunt Dee, he went running over to her giving her a great big hug!!!   She is the kind of Aunt that really listens to the kids!  So they love to talk to her and when she reminisces they stare at her in awe and amazement.   (I had a feeling of complete bliss when we arrived!)

So here on some fun photos:

Yes, Bill does go into the water, occasionally.

Here he is enjoying splashing his daughter a lot!

Getting ready to eat dessert!

Josh really wanted to do the fireworks.  However,

he was a bit nervous.   He ended up running around

but fell down.   The funny thing is that he had his

sparkler in hand and never once dropped it,

he held so tight that Jason and I had to pry it 

out of his hand.  He did get banged up on the

knees and hands.  He fell on some slate! :(

But he still wanted to partake of more!

The girls!!!

Grammie must get involved in the fun!!
