We finished out 4th of July with impromptu camping in the backyard.
Joe was SO EXCITED and he worked hard setting it up (and tearing down in a hurry when we heard thunder the next afternoon, ha)
We had to call in a bit of reinforcement from pops when the tent wouldn't stand, but
we sat down to admire our hard work (after we sprayed with buggins, ha)
We also smoked the bugs out with our popits and sparklers.
Sam didn't think he wanted to do fireworks, well maybe just one.
Several later, he was totally into it.
Those darn popits - Blake stepped on one the next day and popped it -she laughed I don't care for them. ha!
We tried to capture this backwards, but alas had to settle for this Joe!
Never too old for sparklers, they make me much less nervous at this age, ha.
I'm that mom. I've never said no, just had my stomach in knots by the end!
Joe and I settled in and as we tried to go to sleep I laid there wondering if I was hearing summer thunder or fireworks, ha! We stayed dry all night and actually slept very well!
I was awake for a bit and had to rouse this sleepy head after 8
He came in and at breakfast and headed back out to read.
We left it up long enough for Graham see the next day.
Very fun memories.
