4th of July

We had the girls get in their PJ's before we went out to do the fireworks. We told them we needed to wait until dark so they planted themselves at the bottom of the stairs and waited (not so patiently). They were a little hesitant at the beginning but warmed up and weren't so freaked out after the first couple fireworks went off. We had the opportunity do hang out with some friends and also some family but we decided to just to have are own fireworks show and stay home. The girls stayed on the tailgate of the truck and handed the fireworks to Paul. We just brought fireworks at a local stand so nothing went any higher then six feet in the air. Lame I know but I think the big ones that we normally buy off a reservation would have freaked Katelyn out. The girls wouldn't even hold the sparklers.
Over all is was a fun night and the girls really enjoyed themselves. Paul did a great job with the fireworks although at one point he was growing tried of the lame fireworks so he started lighting multiple ones at the same time. One of the times he left one to close and Natalie, Kate and I were on the truck and had to jump up and run to the back of it. Everyone was OK and to my surprised no one cried.
