Happy 4th of July:

{I don't know if we can fit anymore people on the 4 wheeler!}

{Catching things at the creek}

{Buying fireworks...the boys now remember what to request....favorites:  snakes, poppers, sparklers, smoke bombs...


{Poppers}


{Our tattoos}

{Fishing time}


{Ryan's big catch ;)}

{Trying to take a posed picture with these three...IMPOSSIBLE}



{Watching some fireworks}

{Who doesn't use a propane torch to light their fireworks??}

{This is what several snake boxes look like when they are all burnt together...a better effect I think!}



{Lots of smoke bombs = very cool effect}

{The tank going after the chickens}

{Boys trying to blow stuff up...}

{Even though you can't really tell...they shot that pink sand castle up in the air}

{A family game of kickball while we wait for it to get dark enough for fireworks}


{Fireworks time!!}

Turtles, turtles, and turtles...& going home

Evan stated that he wanted to catch 5 turtles {then he later said 10} while at G&G's house.  We ended up with 6....oh boy!

{A little water turtle}

{And these 5 box turtles...a boy's dream come true...I guess...}

Then it was time to come back home...
it looks like one person was ready....


And that's it the week at G&G's house.  
I am all caught back up!

The duck pond was always our favorite too!! I worked it at the school carnival this year and was like what's the big deal! I guess you have to be little to appreciate the full enjoyment of the duck pond!! LOL!

It's because of all the cool prizes (ie., balloons and necklaces) you can get with little effort ;). I think my kiddos are hoarders of all that kind of little junkie stuff!!
