4th, Part 1.

This 4th of July turned out better than I thought it would. Yeah, I had to sit with Kara much of the night, but the night was nice and cool, and I was really able to relax a bit. Kara is good company when she isn't panicking.

My nieces realized I wouldn't be able to come over and watch them light their fireworks because of the dog, so they decided to light them here, so I could be with them. The kids have a lot of heart. With them welcoming me home from Texas, and changing their fireworks plans (they didn't go to the big town display to stay and light some with me), and countless other examples, they are really showing me a wonderful side of life. I'm really lucky to be able to be their uncle....even if they are a bit loud sometimes. :)

Picture Time.

Here we see the girls, Holly up front telling her mom how to do something, Haleigh with a really dark tan, Misty sporting her foam necklace, and Mom's ankle.


Pretties.

This was a firetruck that was meant to speed around and pretend to put out fires using it's spark emitting hose. All it did was blow up.

Kara displaying her mental prowess by turning our little foot stool into armor.

Holly looks on with a childlike fascination that is only a memory for me.

Look for "4th, Part 2" in the next few days. Non-stop destructive action! Sparks will fly..or will they?!? Can Wolverine keep me from stabbing Storm in the face??? Stay tuned, True Believers!
