Independence Day




Jaxon with his sparklers, fireworks were banned, but in my mind sparklers don't count. The husband doesn't agree:)

He's got his glow sticks and fireman badge and is ready to go

Putting the structure fire out


The dummy drag


For the 4th of July this year we were pretty low key. We went to the parade, which I swear I took pictures at and cant find them for the life of me. We had a BBQ at my house with my siblings and some friends in my backyard. Then we headed to the Fire Station for the fireworks/family night. We usually go to the North Station for our own little party with the firefighters and their families that respond to that station but this year they combined the entire department for a family night, I'm not gonna lie I like the old way better. My kids still had fun though playing Frisbee and throwing poppers. It was so dry this year when they lit the fireworks the entire field underneath was on fire from the sparks and ash falling. It was hard to concentrate on the show when all I could watch was the field burning, but they got it out and it was a pretty quiet night for the Dept. Happy 4th everyone!
