July 24th - Pioneer Day

This year's Pioneer Day Celebration was really fun. Every year Uncle Bubby does a firework extravaganza affectionately entitled "The Big Show." This year we decided to do it at our house and the kids had a blast! Even though the older "kids" though they were too old for fireworks, they really got into it. Although if you ask them, they were just getting the sparklers ready for the kids.

Our kids had the most fun with the sparklers. Hailey was a bit hesitant at first, but once we got her to hold one, she was having a blast moving it around in the air. She kept saying, "Look Mom, I'm making circles" as she twirled it in the air. Zach loved it too and was running around swirling and twirling his sparkler.














After the pops and the sparklers were gone, Uncle Bubby put on his firework show. The kids were happy that there was really only 1 really loud one - our kids are not big on loud noises. Zach had a fun time picking out the next one with Aunt Afton for Uncle Bubby to light.

Meanwhile, Hailey spent the whole time on Papa's lap, nice and wrapped up in a blanket.

Thanks Uncle Bubby and Aunt Afton for all the time and money in putting on The Big Show - the kids are still talking about it today and they can't wait for next year.
