Fireworks

We had a really good time for the fourth of July this year. We went to LaGrande to see my parents for a few days, and ended us staying till the 5th!

Curt helped my father with a very un-fun task of replacing a sump pump that is under a staircase in their basement. My husband is such a great guy, he never hesitates to help with this type of thing, especially for my folks. My dad has a real bad back, and had heart surgery in November, so he really appreciated it. Wish I had pictures of this. However, while he was under the stairs he and Colton & Krista managed to catch a salamander, all shiney and black, and a very cute green frog. Sure kept Colton busy for a few days!

Since we decided to stay for the 4th and watch the fireworks, we went to town to pick out a few sparklers for Colton. Curt didn't have any cash with his so I went back and picked them up. We got a call late that night saying that I had won the grand prize for the booth we purchased from, and ended up winning $200.00 worth of fireworks. Colton thought that he had died and gone to heaven! Needless to say by the end of the night the only ones that made it home with us, we set off with my brother David. David is a lot of fun, and Colton adores him. He is just david's little shadow whenever they are together.
The fireworks display was short this year but they sure were pretty!

(Actually the best one were the illegal ones that the neighbors set off!)
