Fireworks for the Fourth

For the 4th of July we stopped by the Muckleshoot Casino for the first ever Riemer firework purchase and then headed down to Oma and Opa's to set them off and celebrate the day.  When Marty talked to the lady selling the fireworks he told her he wanted "pretty rather than loud"  We got several flowers, sparklers, roman candles and some rockets.  Most were pretty but a few of the rockets were very loud.  The kids, especially Benjamin, LOVED them all.

Benjamin taking a potty break right next to the loaded and ready rocket... when nature calls.

Yay... ready for the rocket.

Fun with sparklers

Marty got a great set of hair trimmer/clippers from Oma and Opa for his birthday.  After I gave him a haircut he decided to try his hand with Benjamin's hair.

 All was going well until... Marty dumped a cup of water over Benjamin's head.

As you can see, he did not like that one bit. 

But recovered quickly for the rest of the haircut.

And Benjamin ended up with a pretty good looking new do.
