July 3 we went to Kate and Josh's for the fireworks. They live close to the lake, so we could see them from their house. Just went the fireworks started, it began to rain. This is the second time Chris and I have watched fireworks in the rain. Good times. I wanted to get cool shots of the fireworks...but obviously rain and cameras do not mix so well. I got one shot I was happy with and enjoyed the rest of the show!
This was Bennett's first time seeing fireworks. They didn't excite him or scare him. I started singing the Disney Junior song they play on TV with the animated fireworks, and that helped him become more interested. :) (Though, he was probably waiting for Doc McStuffins to start playing in the sky...ha!!!)
On the actual 4th of July, we had a mellow day. My brother invited us to a cook out at his house, so we went there in the late afternoon. In the morning, we just hung out at home and Chris did some yard work. My mom came over to help play with Bennett ... MUCH needed on my end of things! This boy has become a handful lately!
Bennett picking more rocks ... and playing with my brother's dog.
Once we were back home and Bennett was tucked in bed, Chris and I had a fire in the backyard. We played with sparklers and had a good time together. Here's our handy work:
