Finally....4th of July Pictures!!

We had lots of fun this 4th of July with Thomas' family that came out to visit us here in Indiana. We hope they enjoyed themselves, and can't wait for another visit!! (Hint, Hint)


This first set of pictures were taken while were starting to light off fireworks. Yes, it was still daylight, as it doesn't get dark till about 10pm here. The kids just couldn't wait any longer. Plus, it was getting a bit cold for the kids and the desert rats!!

This next set of pics is of the kids doing their sparklers after the "big kids" (Thomas, Tyler & Trent) were finished with their bigger fireworks! And, boy, were they bigger. The fireworks they were setting off, are definitely illegal in Vegas, but out here in the country, they're not!! My dad would have had a heart attack!! (Oh wait...he did have a small one recently!!) Well, he would have a had a bigger one! I mean, they were landing in fields with tall grass and weeds. It's a good thing it has been raining a lot, or I think it would have been a bit more dangerous. They were really cool, though. I'm sure Anamarie will have some videos up of them later. (She is still trying to sift through all her pics.)



This last set of pics is of our last full day together. We all wanted to get some pictures of our families together, since we haven't seen each other in about a year. It was lots of fun, and the kids loved being able to get tons of pictures with their cousins and aunts and uncles. Well, enjoy the pics, and I hope you all had a great 4th of July!!!

The kids are getting sooooo big!! I wouldn't have recognized Marina, she was just a toddler last time I saw her!! That's fun that family could be there for the 4th.
