Happy 4th of July

This has to be one of my favorite holidays. Every year our neighborhood association puts on a big fireworks show. We invite about 20 or so families every year to come over and watch them with us. We literally have firework shells falling on the tops of our heads. Some friends of ours last year had to throw their blanket away cause of all the burn holes. Here is the Cothran family above. This was Hudson's first fireworks show. He loved it!

Here is just one of the fireworks displays.

Most of the kids did ok. Since they are so close, they are really loud. As they go off, you can hear all the car alarms going off around the neighborhood. Here is my friend Craig and his daughter Hannah holding her ears.

Here are the lovely hosts of the evening.

And finally here is everyone watching them go off. This is the best time to take pictures cause you get some interesting expressions. Looks like someone is covering their face in the second row. So it was another huge success. Now we will be finding firework shells in our yard throughout the year, but I don't mind. I love that we have this event. Happy 4th of July everyone!
