Fireworks!

Tonight, we were invited to United First Methodist in McCalla to celebrate the 4th of July. My cousin Lauren's granddad "aka Papa" was playing in the band at the event. I decided around 2:00 that we would go...but the kids really didn't have a 4th of July outfit. So, in my normal fashion, I whipped something up. Luckily, we had some time to spare. Lauren came early and spiked Gibson's hair. LeLe woke up just in time for the event.

We had a wonderful meal. I forgot how good church food is when everyone brings a dish. Anyway, the kids enjoyed the band. LeLe even did some dancing. During dinner, one of Nana's friends came by the table. In normal LeLe fashion, the conversation went something like this...

LeLe - "Do you like calepetters (aka catepillars)
Lady - "why yes sweetie, I do"
LeLe - "Do you like pistachios?
Lady - "yes honey, I do"
LeLe - "I wike your orange hair".
Lady (as I want to crawl under the table) - "thanks sweetie...at least it isn't gray"

They walk away...

Nana's brother, Uncle Charles appears...he has white hair

LeLe - "what's your name?"
Uncle Charles - "I am uncle Charles"
LeLe - "Hi Uncle Charles, I WeWe Holland - L - E - L - E. You have princess hair like me!"

After dinner, we went outside for a fireworks show. Matt had packed some sound proof headphones for the children and they were much needed as LeLe was scared to death. Once she got them on though, she would just shout out (very loudly) ever color that was in the firework. The elders of the group thought that it was too funny.

Little Gibson just stared in amazement but didn't mind the sound.

We didn't get home until after 9 but the kids had a fantastic time.
