4th of July 2014

We started our 4th of July with an early morning trip to "the wood store" aka Home Depot.

 Tyson was less than thrilled with the manual labor required of him.

 Jason and I thought it would be awesome to have a fire pit in the back yard.

 We did 2 layers and had to take a break. It was boiling outside!!

 We went to a movie and had some lunch and then got back to business.  Here is our final product!!

 Right as we were finishing up the fire pit, the thunder and lightning started. We got a few fireworks off and then came the downpour!!

 We stayed out in the rain and tried to do a few sparklers.

 Jason was probably the last one to give up on the fireworks.  He had gone to Moapa and had even got some "illegal" ones. They were sadly not that impressive, they shot up in the sky about 10 feet and that was it.  Luckily our neighbors and neighborhoods around us spent tons of money and there was an awesome show to see.

 Taylor soaking wet.

 Hayden, the smartest of us all, missed the rain and firework attempts.  She slept through all the festivities and then was put in her bed by Jason.

Fun and busy holiday!!
