4th of July

The 4th of July was really fun this year. We started out the day with swimming and a BBQ with the Kennedy's at the Lee's house. Mason had a blast playing with his cousins Zach, Kennedy, and Jacob. He loved to ride the little bike and was so excited to have a Capri Sun...

Mason had some fun in the pool...

He loved their pool since it was a walk-in type and there weren't any stairs. He kept calling it a big ocean :)

We had to take a family picture of course, even if it is too bright. Oh well.

Then it was time to do some little fireworks for the kids...As soon as one kids threw a little popper, Mason ran inside, haha.

He slowly got a little closer to the outside. He started in the kitchen, and then decided that he could watch through a crack in the door...

Then he made it right in the doorway and then finally right outside the doorway...

And then finally when all the fireworks were over except some snakes, Mason decided that he could get even closer...

Silly boy...he usually isn't scared of much...

Mason loves little Abby and always stops to tickler her toes or pinch her nose or rub her ears...just like his daddy...

After the Kennedy's we went over to the Lyman's for some more fireworks. Their neighbors had the big illegal ones, and as soon as Mason heard one he ran inside, haha. We finally convinced him to come outside and luckily Aunt Monique had brought ear plugs. Once Mason had those in, he was perfectly fine to be outside. He didn't want to hold any sparklers but he liked it when Brad held them.

This is the face Mason would make when the fireworks were too bright...too cute...

We had a super fun day and loved spending time with all our family!
