'Merica Converse, Lanterns, Kiddos, and Fireworks

July 4th, 2013. Happy Birthday to my country of origin, the good ol' US of A! Hope you all had a fantastic day as well! Be warned: This is a rather photo-heavy post! But I never said that that was a bad thing. :)
The local airport sent out some planes for a fly-by.


Silly Daddy!

Parachuter proudly flying the colors in his decent.

The trick to capturing Sawyer is to sneak away while he's not looking, call his name, and when he turns around, snap the picture!

He was excited about everything in the skies that night.

Caught him attempting to hotwire the car!

Mom and Kevin breaking from the festivites.

Sawyer in the smoke.
 
My color guard show last fall was patriotic. To go with our Rosie the Riviter outfits, our band director got us shoes. They certainly come in handy this time of year. 
Me and my friend Samantha.

And so it begins...

Who doesn't love a sparkler on a warm summer's night?

Lighting a paper lantern.
 
"And at last I seeeee the liiiiiiight!" Whoops. Having a Tangled moment there. Back to the pictures!

Uh...Guys? I wouldn't run under that thing if I were you...


There it goes!




 
 
HEY. Wait a minute...What's that doing in here?! Just making sure that you're paying attention!
More pictures to come. But not of me (thank goodness).




Yes, that's a firework too.



 
Postscript: Fireworks, or 花火 (hanabi) are some of my absolute favorite things in the world!
