Our July 4th started out early. We were up very very late the night before visiting with the Woodhouse's and therefore, slept through the alarm clock. For some reason Craig woke up at 5:50 a.m. and within 10 minutes the kids and I were out of the house. But we made it, and I am glad we did. Last year, Craig took the older three to see the balloons and I stayed home with Ben, so this was my first year experiencing the balloons. I never knew they blew up the balloons with a simple fan. It was so neat to watch. Ben however was scared to death. He knew the balloons were going to fall on him.
After seeing the balloons we went to the Ortiz' house and had breakfast. It was very yummy! Thanks Ryan for the yummy breakfast.
During the day the girls went back to Amy's to play in the water while the boys slept. Then everyone met at our house for dinner, and of course a backyard baseball game.
Craig set up a tent for the girls to play in. They had fun chatting and goofying around.
Ben eating Angie's yummy cup cakes. Ben decided to grow a frosting beard.
Ben's third cupcake. He was so cute eating them, so I just letting him eat and eat.
Uncle Ryan and Nicole were teasing each other, and he got some frosting on her face, so therefore, he got an entire cupcake in his.
Nicole is proud of her work. Thanks Ryan for having a good sense of humor and taking it like a man!
When it got dark it was time for Fireworks. The kids had a blast playing with the sparklers. It was such a windy night, so we did sparklers and snaps for a long time, but finally the wind died down enough so we could watch the big fireworks.
Yes, I can hardly believe my eyes as well. Yes, that is right Ben, is actually holding a sparkler. What a brave boy!!!
It was a crazy night. The Ortiz' van starter went out and the men tried for an hour or so to fix it, but nothing worked. So atleast the wind stopped blowing so that atleast we ended the night with some entertainment admist the frustrations.
