Happy Independence Day!
We celebrated the day with lunch BBQ with friends. We had a great time and Ava loved the pool and slip n' slide with the other kids! And also their swing set!
{sadly, no pictures of this one. :( Forgot the camera}
Then, after Ava's nap, we we met up with the other Longmores for some tailgating and fireworks.
{As you can see, we set off our fireworks in bright daylight. While not the best lighting for viewing fireworks, we go to bed at 8:00pm so we can get up at 4:00am. Sadly, Ryan has to be to work that early. So rather than miss fireworks all together, we did them super early}

This girl loves to drink through straws!
Lighting the fireworks:
Another bad attempt at self portraiture. Will I ever learn?
Ava wasn't a fan of the loud noises. "Too loud, too loud"
Then she would tell the fireworks, "Shhhh!"
Me setting off some smoke bombs
Lanny? Spencer? Not sure which... but he's running away after setting something off
The twins I think were just as, if not more, eager than Dad & Uncle Ryan to be pyromaniacs. They had a ball!
Another shot of me and the lighter stick
Ava got bored and decided to try out Lance & Rosey's van. She not only pretended to drive it but also climbed into everyone's car seat or booster seat to try it out. Chad wasn't too pleased when she climbed into his seat and tried getting her out. To which she responded, "No kicking Chad! It not safe" Ha Ha!
Trying out a sparkler with Dad's help
Our tailgate dinner. Strouds. Best Chicken {and gravy, and cinnamon rolls, and everything} EVER!
This guy is a total addict.
And a good time was had by all!!
