happy birthday america!

July 4th is probably Kevin's favorite holiday! Every year we head to his parents for a huge backyard party that includes lots of yummy food, sand volleyball, lots of games, family, friends, and fireworks!!!

This year the temps were in the upper 90's so it was a HOT weekend



Saturday started with some smaller firecrackers with the nieces




Claire doesn't like the loud pops, but loved lighting them off!







Even Mia & Callie got into the festive spirit!







Kevin, Mark, & Bryant always put together a great fireworks show right in the backyard.
Kevin seriously looks forward to this moment all year long!




These were so pretty and lacy - they just filled the sky










Ending with a big bang... haha!




Here's the backyard sand volleyball court - of course I didn't get any pictures while there were games going on b/c I was too busy playing!

 


Here's just a silly pic of Callie I wanted to throw in :)




and here's Callie all tuckered out from a very active weekend




We weren't going to bother going to see any other fireworks, but when we realized that it would take us 3 minutes to walk to Fairview Park for the Normal show on Monday evening we decided it would be worth it.. and it was lots of fun, but of course, I didn't bring my camera so no pics to share.
Sorry again.
