We enjoyed another great 4th of July at the Balvanz’s house. There were 2 main themes to this year’s festivities. The first being “unplanned fashion coordination” and the second being the “deep philosophical ponderings of the difference between legal and illegal fireworks.”
It seems the oldest and the youngest of the girls were on the same brain wavelengths when planning what to wear on this holiday as we have the matching Grandmas (Kathy & Lois)…
…and the matching First Grade Divas (Reese and Jordana)
Our First Grade Divas provided some of the day’s entertainment. They had lots and lots of fun swimming.
Then a petty argument over a spied rabbit occurred and all of a sudden Jordana burst out “You ruined my vacation” followed by Reese answering “You ruined mine too.”
The majority of our day was dedicated to lighting off as many fireworks as possible and then debating why some fireworks are legal and why some are illegal.
Illegal fireworks....
Illegal fireworks....
Blowing things up or burning with illegal fireworks
The inebriated rationale behind this debate is that illegal fireworks are safer than legal fireworks as one takes more care where, when and how to light them off. Whereas with legal fireworks one seems to wave these sparklers all around throwing off sparks and ash which can burn anyone or anything.
Aaren making his final observations on the topic for the day.
The day and evening was topped off with another fabulous fireworks show at the UNIDOME
Ricky’s First Driving Lesson
Ricky got his very first driving lesson in the field at Uncle Larry’s farm behind the wheel of Grandma Lois’ mini van. (Sorry the video is so shaky, but I was running with the camera.)
