Tanglewood of Fire 2012

It's become a tradition in our neighborhood to hold our own little "Tanglewood of Fire" for the 4th of July.  This was our 4th year and it was a hit, as always. I don't know why but there's just something fun about doing your own fireworks. I like the "big" shows, but we always seem to have more fun when we do our own. They may not be as grand...but they're more memorable.

I wish this photo had been in focus...these two little best friends are about as cute as can be. If we ever move, we may just have to sneak Rowan into the moving truck. I don't know if they could live without each other. Even after a couple days in Idaho Reese said to me, "mom I really like Idaho...but when I get to see Rowan again? I really really need to play with her and tell her all the fun I having."



Anni had a great time roaming the streets.


Reese's annual sparkler shot.


"Sorry mom...mine friends are calling...I gotta go!"


"Let's get this show started!!"


Rowan wasn't a fan of the "loud" ones!


Reese and her glow whistle.


Justin showed us what happens when you put a bunch of fireworks in a plastic bucket and light them all at the same time....plastic disintegration in mere seconds.


Reese conducting the fireworks with her whistle.


Reese and Rowan...dancing to the fireworks.






We even had several aerial fireworks...they were pretty cool!






Cleaning up the aftermath!  Thanks to all the daddy's for a spectacular show!! Honestly I think they may have had more fun than the kids.
