Happy 4th of July?

Well, yesterday was the Fourth of July. Mimi and Papa Pelikan bought a ton of fireworks for the kids. We all hung out and ate and played and had a good time until it was dark.



Phil (Papa) started up the festivities out on the street with a few small fireworks that whistled and popped. We thought the kids would like them, but boy were we wrong! Karis and Gabriel both were so freaked out that they ended up watching from an upstairs bedroom window!



They didn't like that for long though, it was still a bit too much for them. So Mimi put on Blue's Clues for them.



Oh well, we tried :) I guess we'll have to see how they do next year.
