Pioneer Day

Here in Utah, we celebrate pioneer day.  I love this because of the fireworks.  Bonus!  So we had the cousins over, lit off a few of our own, then watched the big fireworks go off.

Fountains are my favorite, especially the quiet ones.  Julia is the same way, she cried pretty good when a loud kaboom startled her.

Here Brian is teaching Kyle to light some smaller ones off. 

 

 

Cousins are built in friends.  :)  I always do glow sticks for the kids which are a big hit.  It seems to satisfy the younger kids' need to touch.  That way they don't get burned. 

 

We did watch the Independence Day fireworks.  I had Julia in my arms and she fell asleep right as they started.  So she really didn't see any.  But this time, she was awake to see them start.  Brian held her, and she stared.  She seemed to like it.  

 

We have a pretty good view of the big ones right across the street.  It was perfect.  And lucky us, we didn't have to drive home!  :)
