24th of July

The 24th of July events started with a BBQ at Norm & Julies. Pretty much everyone was there for the fun. Brian cooked up the great meat shis-ka-bobs that the parents had picked up for the day.

Kylee of course went straight for Noah and was hard pressed to let him go!

Rylan's always at home on the swing set!

Brooklyn was thoroughly enjoying her ketchup!


Grandma and Grandpa got the kids exploding balls that made a noise and bit of smoke every time they hit each other. Great fun for all!




Noah, of course was right at home with whomever got ahold of him. Tara is great in letting everyone spend quality time with her baby.



Following the festivities at the Barnes Ranch we headed to Tiff & Trev's for some Fireworks Fun.

I'm not sure who had more fun, Trevor with his Wyoming fireworks, Shelly with her "snaps",


The kids with their "3D" fireworks glasses, or Rylan with his sparklers.



All the kids were so excited to light their own fireworks.




Good Times, Good Times!

Great pictures Taylor's. I almost feel like I was there celebrating with you. We still have a box full of fireworks from last year and didn't even think about lighting them up. They sell all the good fireworks here in Erie, because I guess with all the rain and snow we get her; they aren't worried about brush fires.

It was a great 24th celebration even though we missed the fireworks. Also missed Nate, Angie and the girls. We enjoyed going to bed early with no loud noises or bright lights. This is the life! Luv ya all....
