July 24th

This year we did things a little different for the 24th. Usually we are in Delta but with Ali being so close to having the baby we didn't want to chance it. Chad had the idea for us to have a battle with the fireworks. We each built a tank to fight. We got some cars and put fireworks onto it to build our tanks. It was a ton of fun! A lot more exciting than lighting each firework individually. Ali and I battled and we wound up putting all of the loud fireworks onto ours. When they went off it was so stinkin loud! I looked over and Kylee was plugging her ears and crying. It was a good battle. We may have to make that a new tradition!

Gage did not want Kylee sitting by him. Little stinker!

Marlin's Tank

My killer Tank!!

Trav's car caught on fire and burned for a while. He lost!

Ali's tank. She had a parachute on hers and blew her own tank up!

Chad's tank

Kaycee's tank. I am surprised she didn't catch her own car on fire! Although she might have. It was hard to tell through all of the flames who caught her on fire.

Austin's looked more like a fighter jet or something.

She pretty much sat like this all night.

She was freaked out by the sparklers.

Then she loved them! (Don't mind her crazy hair. It was the end of the night!)

Crazy Chad!

He was an ornery little guy. It was past his bedtime. That is why he had his bink!
