Fun on the Fourth

We went to Fort Gibson this weekend to celebrate the holiday and to go to the wedding of one of my cousins who is also a good friend. It was a good and relaxing trip, and Mason had a blast. He absolutely LOVED popping fire crackers. One of the advantages of celebrating in a small town is we actually got to do our own fireworks (legally). I'm not sure the three boys he was popping fireworks with were the best influences. Jonathan, Josh, and Gabe are just a bunch of overgrown kids when it comes to things like that, and they had just as much fun as Mason. They did make sure he was safe, though, which was the most important thing.

Jonathan and Josh doing bottle rockets.

They all four look like they have been up to something, which was probably true.


This action figure was somewhat charred from previous years, but Mason wanted to contribute to the damage--exactly what I wanted him to be doing.

A fairly decent family picture before the wedding.

Funny picture in my mom's reading glasses--such a silly boy!
