a fabulous 4th {fireworks}

If you live in Kansas, fireworks are a must.

Actually it sounds like a battlezone here.

Seriously.

We take pride in adding to that noise... :)

 we have had many late nights, waiting for it to get dark so the boys can light it up!

 i love fountains! they don't make that horrible squeal!

 Jerry and the boys doing Roman Candles -- why not??

 Jerry and Grayson getting their moves on...

 oh yeah!

 Nana takes the boys to the fireworks tent every year. All three of them love it!

Here she is supervising on the 4th...

 Aunt Laura, myself, and Mom waiting to see some good ones...

the boys' favorite this year -- the "poopy puppy"-- when you light it, it looks like it is pooping.

Happy Birthday, America!
