4th




Some friends from work invited us over for a little 4th of July celebration. I can't believe I only took a picture of Clint sitting in the "baby pool." They had blow up slides(both wet and dry), a blow up jumping castle, a kids slip-n-slid, and an adult slip-n-slide. There weren't any adults who wore their suits so it was mainly for the older kids though all the little kids loved it. The kids had the time of their lives playing in the water and running around all day and we even took the paper rocket launcher for even more fun. We had a little barbecue and then a firework show. They started it off with a firework that said it would launch 56 parachutes. The kids were so excited to chase after the parachutes and catch them so they all lined up ready to race after them. All the adults were lined up on the other side watching. He set the very large fire work on the grass then lit it, the first of 7 parachute shots launched and the firework tipped over. We all watched the skies for the parachutes and then it dawned on the adults that the firework was pointed at us and it would be launching another packet soon. Rhett ran over but was too late and a packet shot at the adults. Rhett tried to stand it upright with his foot but it fell over and shot one at the kids. He finally got it up right for that last couple cylinders to go up. No one got hurt so it was quite the comical event. The best thing is that his wife caught the whole thing on tape. It was funny to watch everyone scream when the firework would point at them. Funny, funny moment.
