Summer dayz...

I couldn't get the video to post within the post so here it is above...

So, summer is just flying by and we have done some fun things as a family. As our kids start to get older we realize there are fewer and fewer activities that we ALL want to do at the same time. Aaron would prefer to go cliff jumping (which consists of him doing a back flip off a 60 foot cliff) at the lake. Alec on the other had would prefer to engage in a rough game of flag football. Cade would prefer riding his bike down the street to sift through the dumpsters to see what treasures he can find. Dawson likes to spend time with his "girlfriend" (don't ask) he and Sienna like to swim in our pool, ride her horse and ride their bikes. One activity we all agree upon is a good firework display. Our little town was celebrating heritage days and they put on a little firework show. We were lucky enough to have it go off in our back yard. We all sat in the swing and watched the fireworks from our back porch. Bret was in Kansas helping a friend load some books, so even though I was missing him like crazy we still had fun. I decided to get out my camera and try and get some shots of the fireworks. I adjusted my settings and placed the camera on a tripod so I could get a "perfect" firework picture. After a while a gave up and gave the camera to Cade. WOW, this is what he got, Aaron took a couple too. We are having them blown up for their rooms. I thought they did a pretty good job at catching some abstract, cool, artisitc pics! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
