4th of July

Alright, we had a blast for the 4th. My friend Kaci and her fiancee, Jason, invited us to his parents house for a 4th of July BBQ. Dummies that we are, we forgot our camera but Kaci got some good pictures of the kids for us. We had hamburgers with all the fixins, hotdogs and watermelon for dinner, chocloate chip cookies and reese's peanut butter brownies for desert, badminton and volleyball for games and of course, the main event, fireworks. Jason spent a lot of money on fireworks. (All illegal I'm sure). We had an awesome firework show and by the end of the night the whole neighborhood was cheering on our fireworks. It was so much fun. I don't think we could have had a better 4th of July. It was great to just hang with our friends and get to know new people. So, here are the pictures.
Here is Jason with some of the stack of fireworks. Unfortunately, that is the only picture of the stack Kaci got.

Kaci tried to get pictures of the fireworks in the sky but her camera was giving her difficulties. But this was one of the coolest fireworks I have ever seen. It was like a machine gun. It would set of 5 quick bangs as the fireworks flew in the air and then it would shoot of 5 more in the opposite direction. It did this a total of about 6 times. So there were lights and fireworks all over the sky it was awesome.
By the end of the night, Rianne was getting really grumpy and tired so she laid down. Most of the time she was screaming but as soon as Kaci brought out the camera she was all smiles.

This is, of course, me and Kaci.
OK, Rianne is so cute here. That piece of watermelon that she is eating was Kaci's. Kaci was sharing with Rianne but she was eating more that Kaci was so Kaci gave it to her and got a picture of Rianne eating that huge piece of watermelon. She went on to eat 1 1/2 more pieces (that same size) of watermelon.
Colvert loved the badminton set. He spent most of the night playing it. But he would get frustrated when he missed the birdie.

And, of course, we have a very cute baby, Bailey. She laid on this blanket for most of the night as content as could be. She was a very good baby the whole afternoon.
This is Bailey and Layla. Layla is that ten month old daughter of another of Kaci's friends.
Colvert again with the badminton rackets.
Rianne refused to let the net go. Nathan and I kept asking her not to touch it but she wouldn't listen. Kaci thought it was funny because Rianne was getting a kick out of pulling it down and then wacthing it bounce back up.
