4th of July

Happy belated 4th of July.................. 11 days belated :)

For the 4th, we drove to Las Cruces, NM to hang out with Cody's parents and brother. Cody's parents live right next to the City Park where the city's fireworks are shot off. When I say next to, I mean their backyard is facing the park. They have front row seats and don't have to go anywhere!

These pictures are really dark, I know..... I'll see if I can get Cody to photoshop them and make them lighter. Basically, these pictures are of the parks field taken from the backyard. In the picture below, any spec of light you see is someone lighting a firework.
It is crazy there on the 4th! Fireworks are completely illegal, but that law is not enforced at all. We went and bought some mortars, some bottle rockets, those spinning tanks I love so much, and a bunch of other stuff. The mortars we bought were incredible! They were REALLY loud too.

The city's fireworks show was the best I had ever seen. The grand finale had tons of fireworks!

Plus, we had Kelli's (Cody's mom) outstanding cooking when we were there as well as all the queso we could eat! I can't wait to go back next year :)
