Firecracker Day

This year we were invited to my good friend Kari's house for a cookout and to shoot fireworks. This is one of Trey's favorite holidays (Curt's too). Trey wore his best 4th of July outfit. Lexi has a matching dress, but I opted not to put it on her. Didn't think a dress was that easy to play in.



Lexi's ready for her close up. Surprisingly, she didn't get scared at all by the fireworks. She jumped a few times at the loud bangs, but then would turn and look at me and laugh. I have a feeling she's going to love Independence Day too.

My best friend Julie was also there. Lexi hung out with her a lot.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Trey was allowed to hold his own Roman Candles. All the other kids got to (even some younger than him) so he was very upset when he wasn't getting to also. So, under close adult supervision, he was allowed to shoot one off.

Isn't this sooooooo cute? Trey is sitting next to his friend Kate (my friend Kari's daughter) watching the fireworks show. We all had a GREAT time! Thanks Kari and Shane (and Kris and Jon too)
