Tailgate and Fireworks

Later that evening on the 4Th we met up with a friend and her family. They go early to the fairgrounds and tailgate with friends and family. This year she invited us to hang out with them and I took her up on that offer. It was a blast!!! We bbq'd hot dogs...yes I had my first obligatory dog of the summer...I'm good now! I will definitely be going back next year and tailgating...I just had so much fun. I missed my husband and wished he was there with us but this fourth was by far the best time I have had in a long time! Next year I hope Frank will be with us next time.
Here are my boys tailgating...I think they had a great time also. How can you go wrong with hot dogs and snacks? Eli...a little fuzzy but he was having a ball! Especially when the neighborhood started doing fireworks...he kept inhaling and yelling ma and pointing to the fireworks. It took me awhile to figure out why he was acting so excited and I remembered last year he was sleeping through the show last year. He was awake for them this year and just loved it!

One of my favorite firework shot I got. I did good I think (I actually was able to use my scene selection on my camera for fireworks...not sure I have before).

I liked this one because I thought it kinda looked a bit like a flower.

I love that all of them have smiles on their faces. They are truly having a great time! I love, love Eli's face. He laughed for just about all the fireworks and screamed and clapped. Look at his face! He really enjoyed the fireworks!! I can't put my finger on what about this picture that I love but it's in that baby's face...child-like innocence? Something...

It has been a long while since I've been able to say that I really enjoyed myself on some holidays...it was really nice to be able to do that this year for this holiday. It just might be that things might fall into place from time to time.

We are enjoying some wonderful weather this week, OK well today, but the rest of the week looks good. I'm getting some Vitamin D!!!!!
