We took Kaylee to see fireworks for the first time this year. She loved it! July 4 was Sunday, and fireworks near us were Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. We went Friday night with a bunch of neighbors. The kids all had fun throwing pop & snaps (see 1st pic of Kaylee solo; she was having fun, but looks really tired in this photo - it was already past her bedtime at that point), waving sparklers and wearing glow bracelets...and staying up late. :) While watching the fireworks, Kaylee went back and forth between sitting with Jamie and sitting on the blanket on the ground. She kept popping up, throwing her hands in the air and exclaiming, "that was a BIG one!" when some of the bigger fireworks exploded.
On the 4th, we went to my parents' house. About 25-30 people were there over the course of the day. Kaylee wanted to get in the pool first thing, of course! We managed to take a few photos with her in her 7/4 outfit first. Here she is with Baba (Jamie's mom), Grampa (my dad), and me and my youngest brother Jeff - all in our red holiday shirts.
Kaylee enjoyed trying to help her cousin Lillian open some gifts. She also had a great time in the pool both before and after lunch (hence the suit change). She really liked riding on the crocodile this time. Last photo is Grampa with his two granddaughters.
