OK..so in keeping with the Fourth of July theme, I thought it was time to talk a little bit more about the amazing fireworks going on around here.
Last week we went to some friends for a cookout and some fun. I must admit I was a little anxious about what would happen if we heard/saw any loud bangs. In the past, The Boys have not reacted well to fireworks. But I thought, we're in a neighborhood, and it's still light outside...so the odds are, no one will be shooting off boom and sparkle things until my boys have fallen asleep...
Yes, I can hear you all laughing at me now.
As fate would have it, while we were in the back yard, a neighbor lit off a nice little bang and sizzle, that shot up 50 feet in the air.
A loud 'POP'..and a bright shower of lights in the twilight. And my gaze immediately shifted from the lights, to The Boys.
Myles had galloped over to where the noise was, and as he saw the lights, he shouted "A Parade !!!". Superman Sam was in a fine position to be surprised, and he too began giggling and squealing with joy.
MY BOYS LIKE FIREWORKS !!!

Of course, we HAD to try the sparklers next. Myles did a tremendous job reaching out for one, and holding it...smoking and spitting sparks all over him. And then did it a 2nd time !!
The neighborhood began to erupt with fireworks as the light faded, and The Boys enjoyed ever single minute of it.
And I enjoyed every single minute of them. RAOC.
