Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!

This 4th of July we went and bought a package of fire works to light at home so that we wouldn't be gone out so late for Lathan to get up the next morning. I was really interested in seeing what Cooper's reaction would be to the new sounds and experiences...Well not to worry, because he loved just about every minute of it! (Almost a little alarming...I hope that when he gets a little bit older he isn't wanting to light things on fire and blow things up!) Here are a few pictures of our firework show & observers:

Here he is clapping away after one was lit.

Max is such a little poser.
One of the pictures I didn't post was of Max trying to protect us by barking and getting as close as he dared to the fire works when they would go off. What a silly bully!


This is the only fire work that he didn't enjoy...it whistled really loud right before a bunch of pops. But once we got his attention and showed him we were clapping for it, he decided to pull out of it and enjoy it again.

I thought that Cooper would want to play with the Sparklers that I had bought especially for him, but he wasn't too sure about the smoke and fire being right there by his face.

The other fireworks that I bought for him were the little "snaps" fireworks that you throw and they make popping noises. Lathan laid a bunch out on the ground and tried teaching him to stomp on them to get them to pop. It was funny watching him try to dance & stomp over them...because he wasn't heavy enough to get them to pop.
