We kept it very low-key and last minute this year. Seems like everyone else had plans or was out of town and we were on our own. Luckily our friends Brent and Terina were home and were willing to join us for some last minute fun. We swam and BBQ'd at the pool and then came home for some toddler friendly fireworks courtesy of the Maldonado's. I didn't want to keep our kids up until 10 to sit in the heat and they don't know any better so this was perfect for them.
 

The following pictures are pretty much the same but I love the evolution of Rhett's face in them. He goes from apprehension to pure amazement.
 

The night ended with sparklers and hovering parents.
 

During the evening I looked over to see Rhett and Maizy sitting near the porch. Maizy was just minding her own, busy eating rocks. I love how Rhett recognizes that she is smaller than him, he sat down next to her and started tickling her legs.
 

Haha! And clearly Maizy has her priorities down. Rocks! Cute kids. It was a simple and fun evening.
