More of Grandma's flowers

Fireworks time...the boys weren't very sure about this.

Aaron does NOT lile loud noises...we had multiple melt downs...because of fireworks going off in the neighborhood (Daddy picked fireworks that didn't make loud noises).

Because Aaron was so worked up about lound noises, Ryan decided to be scared too.

By the end we convinced Aaron that sparklers were fun.

Um...two peas in a pod...
