Firework Fun at Home

This evening was Braden's final baseball game of the season, and I told him if he had a good game, that we would stop off at a firework stand and buy a couple of fireworks for him to let off in the driveway at home this evening since we won't be home on the fourth or able to buy and set of fireworks this year (we will be camping - no fireworks allowed in the grounds). He had an awesome game, he hit two home runs and was loving it! So, on our way home, we stopped by Sonic, and then to the fireworks stand. He picked out his array of approved fireworks and we headed home. He ate faster than I have seen him eat in quite some time...for some reason they don't think about the fact that they have to wait until the parents are done eating too, but oh well :) After our bellies were full we headed outside for him to be able to have a bit of fourth of July firework fun. We pretty much got things he could light and do himself, so that means NO big BOOM type fireworks, but he just loved doing what we did get. Here are some shots of him lighting and playing with the fireworks this evening:

Look at my big boy, give him a punk and he can light all of his own fireworks!

Again, lighting his own fireworks - look at the smoke!

There was lots of smoke bomb fun going on, my driveway is scared ;)

...and more smoke bombs

...and yet again more smoke bombs, why do boys think these are so cool?

Daddy got into the sparklers - isn't he cute - hehehehe!

He is so tired, but dead set on lighting up the driveway!

Yep, he looks a excited as he did last year... I am laughing right now thinking about how he would yell at Josh right before he lit a really loud firework so that it wouldn't hurt Gavin's ears "Dad, don't light that because Gavin's here!!! DAAAAAAAAD"
