We hosted our first (of many, I hope!) "party" for the 4th of July! We had a great time grilling out with our family on Paul's new green egg! Then the boys thought we needed some fireworks since they are legal in South Dakota, one bonus for moving out of Iowa. When they went to buy the fireworks, the guy selling them did give the boys a little warning about lighting them IN town, because they were "BIG" ones. Not really knowing what that meant, we decided to ask a few of our neighbors if they minded if we shot them off in the street and all of them said it was just fine. So... the boys lit them and they were HUGE!!!!!!!!! Our two minutes of fireworks were awesome! :) A few of our neighbors said that we just started a tradition! So I guess we better start saving for next year so maybe we can have four minutes of fun!
Ruby did get to see a few smaller fireworks before bedtime, but I put her to bed before we lit our big ones. I felt kind of bad that she was missing out but they were so loud that I'm sure she would have gotten scared anyway! Next year she will have the full experience of her daddy's pyro-obession!
