4th Of July!!

We had a wonderful day! We started with lunch at McDonald's so the kids could play on the playground.Afterwards we went shoe shopping , which is one of Alex's favorite things to do.We finished the afternoon at the fireworks super store!We gave the twins each a basket while we shopped and they were in awe of all the craziness.
After dinner we joined Aunt Taryn , Uncle Kyle , Kyler and Mandy at Braums for ice cream cones.The kids were all excited about the upcoming fireworks!
We drove around for at least half an hour looking for the perfect low key spot outside of city limits to shoot off the fireworks.We ended up on the access road! We put on a show for the people driving!
We put all the kids in the back of the truck to keep them away from the street and fireworks.
They had so much fun watching Daddy run after he lighted each fuse! The fireworks were a hit too.Austin always asked Kyler if he saw it after each firework , it was really cute!Mandy loved being with the big kids in the truck and squealed every time they laughed! Gage was really tired and had been woken up for the show so he was not as enthused.All I got from him was pointing at the sky with some serious confused expressions!
On our way home we saw a group of people in an elementary school parking lot shooting fireworks! And to think we searched and searched for a legal place!
All and all the night was a big hit!
