Happy on the Fourth

Photos from the FIREWORKS EXTRAVANGA (I couldn't have named it better myself).
Hey, who says a cell phone can't take a good photo? (I've NEVER been able to capture firewords with a camera):

For the first time in their lives, I allowed my kids to live la vida CARNI.

And they rode rides that are probably rarely inspected.

I didn't let them ride anything higher than 1 feet off the ground & made Daddy ride the crazy strawberry ride with them:

Our family photo ended up all Blair Witch looking.

Okay, now on the actual FOURTH, we decided to go strictly family home time & haven't left these four walls.

I took a quick break from my VBS preparation to coordinate some fun art projects...

Gabe was all business making his patriotic flag slash fans.
After playing with the bendy capabilities of her straw, she was able to concentrate on the task at hand, FIREWORK art.



Notice the symetry in FJ's art, versus Gabe's random style.


I was actually impressed that he blew -- I was afraid he would be confused & do the opposite.

Then that would've been a different kind of art.

Next on the list, taco salad & red rice cripy treats.

Livin' la vida liberty!
