Fireworks and Trampoline Time

Josh always sends us home from the fireworks tent w/plenty of things the kids will enjoy. :) We did all of our stuff over a two-day period. We started the 1st night w/a giant box of Snap Pops. The kids looooooved them and it kept them entertained for quite some time!


Cam prefers to stomp on his. :) While Kaden prefers to throw a couple at a time. :)

Another Goofball!!!
Before we started the fireworks, Kade was running around trying to catch lightning bugs.
Waiting patiently for the fireworks! Cam pretending he was stuck in a cage! LOL
Sparklers!!!
Day 1 we shot off some fireworks...then got a visit from a very nice police officer. :) So, we decided to save the rest for the following night. :)
DAY 2
Kaden really liked doing the sparklers. Josh and I didn't think they were very good, but they sure kept Kade entertained!

Cam showing off his unlit sparkler. He wasn't a huge fan of them lit. :)


Daddy--the official sparkler lighter!
Cam did finally decide to do a lit one!
...but this is how he used the sparklers most of the night. :)
After sparklers, it was time for more trampoline fun!!! Cam hasn't been that into it lately, because he prefers to jump alone. And he NEVER jumps at the same time as Kaden, so this was a HUGE deal! They had so much fun!



Here are the boys doing sparklers--Kaden's lit and Cam's unlit. :)

Cam having a blast w/his sparkler! :)

Kade's Sparkler Fun


Jump! Jump!

And, in case you were wondering, Cam still does not like fireworks. He let us know loudly and clearly!! We shot off one thing at Josh's tent and Cam proceeded to cry, scream, and bury his face in my chest. Then when we did them at home, we started w/some quiet stuff. I thought it was just the noise that bothered him...nope he hated it all! I finally took him inside, laid him on the couch, and started a show for him while we watched our fireworks w/the neighbors. He was MUCH happier then! The 2nd night he didn't even want to be out there once we moved from sparklers to fireworks. Poor boy! Little does he know that we will be subjecting him to them again Sunday during the Summer Fest fireworks. LOL
