more fun with fireworks

John getting his first experience with sparklers. Are you surprised that he loved them? I thought he was going to singe off his eyebrows a couple of times, but he managed not to cause any permanent damage to his face. john and amelie loving every minute of it

at the end of the sparklers we had our own unbelievable fireworks display, complete with the mo-tab singing the star-spangled banner for background music. we're so patriotic. john didn't quite make it through the show.

here's dad showing him the proper techniques for sparklers

what? don't put it so close to my face? why?

4th of July!

We spent the 4th in Oregon this year. It was a blast. John had never seen the parade in Ashland - it's always a crowd-pleaser. Luckily there was no one naked in the parade this year. There were some pretty cool entries though.

Here's John with Grandma Bounds and Remi - she loved the parade too.
