4th of July 2012

 Getting ready to light off the parachute.

 Look at these cute cousins - perfectly happy and loving one another.

 Hold your ears girls. Poor Piper - its a little loud!

 This was a cute little firework. I think it was called "raise the flag" and that's what happened. After a few sparks this little flag shot up :)

 Hanging with Grandpa after the firework show.

 Our little family on the 4th.

 The girls' favorite firework this year - the poopy puppy. A few sparks flew out his bottom followed by a snake. Funny and clever.

 Sisters and sparklers - what a hot combination.

 Gracie got to hold sparklers this year with a little help. 

 Hoff put on a show all of his own.  I hope no one was watching.

Then, we went down to the football field in Ashland to watch the "Big" fireworks. I just love this shot I got of Gracie "Awwing" at the pretty display.  We had a nice 4th.
