4th of July (Week 25/52)

This is our second 4th of July living in a house and owning property. So even though Matt and I have been married for almost 5 years, it wasn't until very recently that I discovered he is just like any other boy--a huge pyro.

We had friends and family over for a cookout and homemade ice cream, and then Matt and his friend, Tate, put on a huge fireworks display. The grand finale was actually pretty grand!

Colin thought all of the festivities were very fun. He wanted to be right in the action, which of course meant we had to watch him every second.

His favorite fireworks were those little popper things where you pull the string and confetti shoots out. But when we ran out of those, he was happy to give sparklers a try. What a good daddy he has helping him out.

Now that I know that Matt is capable of such good pyrotechnics, I can't wait to see the show next year. And you are all invited!
