The kids sat out on the grass while Eric and I set up the tent in the backyard. The kids were excited to try out our new tent and do a backyard camp out after the fireworks were over on the 4th. Holly's 1st 4th of July holiday!
Eric's parents live in Sun City, just 5 minutes from our house. Their home is on the golf course and has a great unobstructed view of the fireworks display that Sun City does each year. It's so great to watch from their backyard and avoid all the people and traffic usually involved with going to watch anywhere else.
It's almost time to start the show

Eric and Holly are ready for some more fireworks
We also did fireworks with some of our neighbors. Our neighborhood has no shortage of boys....Tate and Carson love to play with these friends. The only other little girl besides Holly is one who lives across the street. She is only 3 months older then Holly, but unfortunately that family may be moving soon. I guess Holly is just going to have to learn to play with the boys.
At first Carson didn't like the sound of the fireworks that we did out in the street in front of our house. He said " It's too scary. I want to go to my home". After about 15 minutes, he decided that they were not so bad after all. Eventually, by the end of the night, we were having to make him back up and not be so close to the fireworks...his fear was definitely gone.
Every little boy thinks sparklers are cool!
Tate had his face painted earlier in the day with an American flag on one cheek and a firework on the other. The all American kid!!
