It was just so Fourth!

BB shooting. Redneck 4th of July!!
This year we decided to see what the kids wanted to do for the 4th. Blanding hosts the parade and activities on the 4th and Monticello does the 24th. The kids decided that they would rather not go to Blanding but would rather have some fun at home and then go down at dark for the fireworks. Smart choice!

Nina taking aim. 
They had a list of activities they wanted to do. Shooting, tin foil dinners, games at home, and fireworks.

Hannah, Hunter(friend), Charles, Soren and Sadie

Charles learning how to hold the gun.

Do we have to smile?

James' turn

Looks like he's getting it down.

Only in the country can a boy shoot a bb gun in his own front yard.


Assembling our yummy dinner! We love tin foil dinners.

waiting for the fireworks to start
We found a place to watch fireworks in Blanding the first year we went down there. We park in the parking lot of the San Juan Building Supply. Its just north and east of the park where they shoot off the fireworks but it's mostly empty and isolated from the crowds at the park. We can see the show well and we can get out of Dodge quickly before the park empties itself. Win/win.

Whose devil children are those?

 OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
 AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Way to try to get out of the photo Sadie! She is always doing the opposite of a photo bomb!
A perfect ending to a wonderful, relaxing day celebrating America's birthday!
