Fireworks and Birthday Cakes!

The Fourth of July is a big holiday for us. Not only do we celebrate our Independence we also celebrate Mr.E's dad's birthday. This year we decided to go to Crabby Bill's on the lake in St.Cloud which is where they shoot off the city's firework display.

We had a great dinner with the family and Little Lion's cousins.


While we waited for dinner the balloon artist came around and make LL a helicopter, a kitty and alligator for the cousins.

Gramps blew out all the candles with some help from cousin J.The fireworks started and we had a perfect view and a nice sound barrier of being in the restaurant. LL is deathly afraid of the sound and if you mention the f word (fireworks) he freaks out. BUT inside he was mesmerized by the lights in the sky!After the fireworks, we took some family pictures to remember what a *blast* we had that night ;)
