4th of July BBQ

After we got done eating our London Broil, hot dogs, salad, rolls, potatoes, ect. The kids went out to play. Sammie, Sara, and Cheyenne went and playing in the tent that Uncle Craig set up.
For dessert, Aunt Angie brought cupcakes. Ben was so cute with his icing goatee.
Good thing it is an American holiday since Christian loves to play the American sport, baseball. That is all he did while we were outside.
Ben with his cupcake and Christian with his bat. Those two boys are such cute cousins.
Ryan was playing around with Nicole and while she was getting a bite of her cupcake, Ryan kindof pushed it into her face so icing got on her chin and nose. Nicole didn't like this and started crying. Jill (Nicole's Mom) told her to go and do the same thing to him. Nicole got Ryan good.
While we were waiting for a huge thunder storm cloud to blow past, we decided to do sparklers. Cheyenne didn't particularly care for the sparklers. They scared her.
Sammie showing off her fancy sparkler twirling.
Grandpa lifting Christian up like the Statue of Liberty holding his torch.
Christian showing off that he can do 2 sparklers at the same time. He couldn't get enough of them. While the sparklers ran out it started to rain. We decided to do the rest of the fireworks another day. We went to start the car and it was dead. Ryan, Craig, and Grandpa spent about a half hour, if not longer, trying to get it to start up. It was a goner. The rain stopped and the kids wanted to do the fireworks. While we watched the fireworks, Grandpa took Ryan to get our other car so we could get home. What a fun way to end a great 4th of July.
