Let the celebration begin!

The 4th of July celebrations began early this morning with gifts from Grandma Holly and Grandad. After 2 trips to the pool today, we continued to party with pop rocks /snap firecrackers. Grandma Holly couldn't dish them out fast enough to the kids.
Hunter and Cameron were serious fire cracking boys.
From high above, Lucy observed the party.

Dave got the 'fire pit' ready for S'MORES!!!

The kids anxiously awaiting their skewers to roast marshmallows and for The Grand Fire to be just right.

Leigh preferred her S'More without the marshmallow or graham cracker.

Grandad, G'Ma Holly and Lucy watched the pyro party from afar, getting reject marshmallows every now and then. Occasionally they got a discarded S'More too.

Hunter roasted his marshmallows to perfection and Cameron burned every one entirely on purpose.

Lucy Lu decided that marshmallows were AWESOME! She couldn't get her paws on them fast enough. Hold tight Grandma Holly, b/c Octopus Arms will swipe that marshmallow right out of your S'More!
Unfortunately, Bob and Spanky couldn't partake in marshmallow and fire celebrations. They celebrated in their own special way.

I am just now catching up after being home 3 weeks. Your help was so valuable. I see Lucy does not care for the crib. Nate, likes it until 3am. Then he wants our whole bed. It looks like you are having lots of fun. If you are ever near Hickory, let me know.
