Celebrating the 4th

This year we went to our annual 4th of July party at my inlaws house. I love it because all the family comes together and we eat, talk, light off fireworks and have fun! It was great this year because everyone was there, even the families that live out of state.
Bret and Cameron enjoyed a little swim in the pool with the cousins again.
Cameron and Dylan in their matching shirts, isnt that too cute!? Sadly they are so hard to get a good picture of, so this was the best I could do.
Peyton and Cameron, she sure is sweet to him.
Taylor and Tessa helping Cameron do the "Pop-Its" which he LOVED! (see the video at the bottom)
The kids doing Roman Candles.
Me and Megan
Bret helping Cameron do a sparkler. We tried letting him hold it with us, but that was disastrous. He wanted to look at it up close so he kept trying to put it near his face. But he still liked them with us holding them.

Mia decked out in her 4th of July gear looking very festive.
Getting ready to watch the fireworks.
Emery, Peyton, Me and Cameron watching fireworks together.
Cameron really liked the fireworks, they didnt scare him at all. He watched them so intently and loved it. But around 10:30 I noticed he was asleep. I was so surprised because it was so loud. We did fireworks for about another hour and he slept through it all. Amazing. I think he had a lot of fun and we sure did too.

Here is a video of Cameron doing the "Pop Its." My brother in law bought this bigger ones that were easier for the little kids to hold and throw. He really liked them. All night whenever we would walk past them on the ground he would pick them up and throw them and laugh, even though they were already used. I sure love this kid, he is just so funny and you gotta love that laugh of his. (Excuse the videography... I had my 8 year old neice take the video, hope it doesnt make you feel motion sick lol)
