Fireworks!!!

One of the evenings in Nebraska, we did some fireworks before bedtime. I was disappointed in the "Snap-Pops" that you throw on the ground. They were one of my favorites when I was growing up, and unfortunately, the ones we had purchased didn't work very well...they wouldn't even stomp out.

Doesn't she look cute in her hat from Grandma?

Smoke bombs...

Daddy tried lighting too many things at one time, and got a little freaked out when he didn't quite get out of the way in time.

Gabrielle got just a little scared at some of the louder ones, while Grandpa is obviously enjoying the show.

Gabrielle shared one of her sparklers with me while I was trying to get Benjamin to sleep.

Now she's havin' fun!

Another night while we were in Nebraska we stayed up even later and did the "bigger" fireworks on the front driveway. Gabrielle enjoyed staying up past her bedtime, as well as watching them light up in the dark sky.

More sparklers...

Grandpa was doing a "sparkler dance"!

And, of course, Grandma ended up with Benjamin again!

And, typical daddy...reading the directions.

Hurry, before it starts...

Beautiful!
