Happy 4th of July

This morning began with a ward pancake breakfast and flag ceremony.  We were about a half hour late and missed the flag ceremony, but enjoyed a yummy pancake breakfast with everyone before we left to watch Mr. Popper's Penguins at the Summer movies.  

Annalise, Spencer, and William just finishing up with breakfast.  As soon as Annalise knows I have a camera, she will look away.  It is really hard to get a good picture of her. 



You can see Annalise's walker behind Bryce.  She still uses it, but it is getting harder and harder for her to go much distance at all in it.  I'm finding that we are needing her wheelchair much more often. 







Tonight we spent some time with our neighbors who rent our guest house and made smores and lit off a few fireworks.  


William and Spencer sporting new haircuts.  Their hair grows so fast! 

Chase and Spencer climbing in Tiffany's truck to watch the fireworks from a safe distance. 

Getting the little black snakes all lined up and ready to go.

We had six tanks so they set up a battle field.  The tanks didn't move or anything, just shot flames from their cannons. 





We were able to see a few fireworks that were sent off by the other neighbors.  The trees have all grown up around us, so it is a bit harder to see the big city fireworks that we used to watch from our yard.


And to finish off the night, everyone got some sparklers. 







Bryce and Annalise stayed inside most of the time.  Bryce is terrified of fireworks and Annalise didn't seem to have much interest in what we were doing.  I have finally gotten Bryce to where he will watch them on TV and not freak out, but the noise of them still bothers him.  Maybe next year he will join us.
