4th Of July!!!

Our 4th of July started out at home getting ready for the day.  Makayla and Kyle looked so cute in their flag shirts. 

Of course Makayla couldn't leave the house without a fancy 4th of July hairdo.  Next we went up to Reno and watched the movie Cars 2.  This was Kyle's first movie at a theater so we figured he would do great.  Well, we were wrong.  He stayed interested for the previews while he ate his popcorn and then he was done. Ben and I took turns taking him out and letting him run.  At least Makayla got to see the movie and she loved it!  After the movie we went to dinner.  Kyle and Makayla were full of popcorn so their meals pretty much went to waste but Ben and I enjoyed ours.  After dinner it was off to wait for the fireworks. 

We got to the place and found a perfect spot.  Kyle and Makayla just played around the area while we were waiting.  As you can see Kyle did not want his picture taken!!!

Makayla spent all her time making new friends and dancing.  

Kyle had so much fun following Makayla around and copying everything she did.  Finally, after his long day he got pretty tired.  He found himself a cozy place to take a rest... right in the middle of the sidewalk.

Finally, the fireworks started and they were awesome!!!  It's not the most comfortable place they have them but they sure are beautiful.

Both Makayla and Kyle loved the fireworks.  The best part for Ben and me was snuggling with our kiddos.  It was a wonderful day.  Thanks so much to all the past and present soldiers that make our freedom possible.  We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful country!!!
