our fourth of july was a hot one! we started out our day by having lunch at shawn and anna's. we watched nathan's hot dog eating contest...obviously. anna and i and the little boys stayed at their house and the big boys (dj and shawn) went to the fireworks stand. they were suddenly 12 years old all over again. they made a special 5-mile trip to bucky's to get the best fountain pop for all of us for the holiday...obviously. then we headed over to anna's mom's house to have hot dogs. we went to the ashland fireworks show that night, as we have for the past several years. then we headed home for shawn and dj's personal show. again...obviously. shawn has been putting on a midnight fireworks display since as long as i can remember.
on the 3rd, we went to werner park to watch their show. dj was holding jed and everytime dj would turn away a little bit, jedidiah would strain his neck to keep watching them. and, as always, shawn announced the "names" of each artillery shell (things like "saturn's majesty" or "tropical sunrise") . and after each one, you could hear a little 2-year-old echo saying the same thing, but in a smaller voice. it was so cute!
