. fireworks surprise .

ever since 'the fourth' the boys have been asking about fireworks. every time i tell them there are no more fireworks for a long time... they are all gone.
well, even mommies get surprises once in awhile, apparently.
last sunday ~a full week after the holiday~ we went to one of the parks near our place just before sunset. it was starting to get stormy as the sun went down and out of nowhere comes fireworks! one after another!
and of course, brigham had to inform me that 'see, mom. i was right!'
eventually, we got chased from the playground from the lightning storm and winds that picked up. it was really something to watch the firework display along with the lightning storm.

the flash of light under the clouds was a bolt of lightning...

beautiful sunset

surprise!

a complete show...

parley followed landon's instructions to the 'T'..

a little volley-foot ball. briggs wanted to set the football.

landon and cohen both let go of their kites... tangled them up with each other and the trees!

i convinced brigham to be my photographer... he's catching on!

parley loves the sandbox..

briggs loves showing his 'tricks'.. even on the slide.

boys will always be boys.. adorable.

after the storm chased us home, the boys read stories and watched the lightning out the window...
