Growing up we would spend every 4th of July at my grandparents lake house in Benbrook. We would eat brisket and fried chicken, swim, and play pool in the house. There were no fireworks restrictions so at dusk all the men and kids would go out to the end of the dock and launch fireworks. And later, when I didn't care so much to be a part of the action, I would sit with the ladies on the lake front and watch fireworks go off all around the lake. Some of my fondest childhood memories are about the fourth of July at the lake. My Grandpa died several years ago, we sold the lakefront property and the tradition died. I miss those times.
Now that we have kids of our own, we want to starts some fourth of July traditions. I think one we might do is take the kids to the Fantastic Fireworks stand near our house. The stand is surrounded by a wheat field and it has so much character.
Abby and Carter had fun looking at the colorful boxes, as well as the colorful people. I think Abby spotted a dog in this picture, just not sure why they both look so disgusted.

I was thinking Abby's face portrayed more of the beginnings of "cool" than disgusted. Great character picture!
I was thinking that they were seeing the boogie man. "Carter! You need to RUN!" "I don't want to run, Abby. You kill it..." OH MY GOSH your kids are great. I am SO sad that I didn't get to see them at the reunion. (I am crying about it right now. Please feel badly for me...)
