The 'Works

........ Well even the rain couldn't stop the fun Saturday night! :)


This past weekend was the annual Fireman's Festival over in Mount Eaton, and we all loaded up for some fun and some Fireworks! We don't actually go to the festival part, just park at the ball field to see the show. They do a really nice job and it's just like the most perfect, low-key, nearby, stress-free location to let the boys watch some fireworks. 

So we got all packed up and loaded in and headed out. 

We started with an indulgent and celebratory picnic... it was a party, you guys! FIREWORKS were about to occur!  ;)

Happy Meals were in order.

And some more picnic fun...

Cheeseballs.

And then it was time to RUN.

We were literally the only ones there. They had the entire ball field to themselves...

Here they come.

They loved it.... Down!!

And back up! 

Over and over and over. It was like conditioning practice!

But they loved it.

That hill is STEEP.. but even this kid went down and back up a few times.

Look at that focus. Haha. Always gotta try to keep up, ya know?

But sometimes it's nice to just sit with Daddy and watch the silly brothers, too.

I am never cutting these off.

And.... pooped.

But not too pooped for some balancing beam action!!

Focus... focus....

(the jumping off part was the best part... but of course all those photos are just little boy blurs)

Goofball

Wonder where they get it.... ;) 

(this ended in a toe touch, by the way)

Cheese.

And then Daddy caught a firefly... and the hunt was on!

I'd like to tell you no fireflies were injured in the making of this post... that's what I'd like to tell you...

Squish.

But they definitely had a better chance if Mommy held them, that's for sure.

But, alas, then it started raining.

So we all headed back under the pavilion for some peanuts. 

.

... and then it POURED.

But we're not quitters, yo. 

We were there. We were ready. And we were staying.

But we did need to kill some time....

 

So were they cancelled? Were they still on? Who could we call? How would we know?

(smart phones are an awesome thing, guys...)

..... When all of a sudden...   BOOM!

And there they were.

 

And all the boys LOVED them.

And we were happy♥
