Independence Day

Emma, you and Taylor experienced your first hand's on fireworks with some sparklers. Only in Grammy and Papa's city can you do safe fireworks right on the streets!

Ben, this was your first experience being so close to fireworks too. We had these things called "eyeballs", I think they took the place of the blooming flowers. Well, they spun around then popped really loud. For the rest of the night you kept saying "eyeball broke" over and over again. You did not like the noise so you and uncle Todd wore ear protection.
