Boom! Boom! BOOM!

The boys had a good evening of the 4th. It was raining pretty hard here right before it got dark. We were over at the neighbors house. There were a bunch of kids and the boys were having a ball with them all.

The rain let down a little bit, not a whole lot. All the kids went out to start with the fire works. Sparklers and snappers. Owyn just ran around in the rain. Rhys loved the sparklers. He waited so patiently for his turn at one. Once those were gone both boys hit the rain-play hard.

Owyn finally crashed and burned just before dark. Tracy took him up and put him in bed. His room is at the front of the house, closest to the street. He slept through everything. Not a peep all night.

Rhys settled in with us as everyone in the neighborhood set up in front of our house. Why? As soon as the fun started Rhys was right in the middle of it. I kept having to jump in and pull him away when he got too close.

The older kids (some in their 40's) got to set off all the fireworks. The biggest and loudest ones scared Rhys, but as soon as they were done he was right back in the middle of things.

Rhys finally went to bed at 10Pm. He did not sleep in Sunday morning.
