Our Independence Day

We went to my parents' house to celebrate on the 4th. We barbecued and had a big potluck. We ate, and ate, and ate...

Anthony's parents came, as well as Loren and Kandi Brown and their kids. We had a great time visiting with everyone!

The kids had a blast playing outside and jumping on the trampoline. It was cloudy and a little chilly outside, but thankfully it didn't rain!

'Supervising' while Auntie Kayla and Laura sort through some fireworks.

Talon's 1st sparkler.

He thought it was great... though he kept trying to hold it close to his face and blow it out.

**The tailgate party**
All bundled up in the back of Uncle Jeremy's truck, snacking, and waiting for the fireworks to begin.
The kids thought the fireworks were pretty neat. When the first one went off, it was really loud. I thought they might get a little scared. Nope! Kaitlyn's face lit up and she yelled, "Happy!".

We hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day 2010!
