Fireworks - No Way!


We spent the past couple of days at Table Rock Lake up in AK & MO with Ryan's older brother. We had such a great time. Both boys did super in the 7 hour car ride to and from. Carter was a great just being past around, put in his bouncer, and wearing the life jacket that swallowed him whole. Benjamin had a great time too. Although, everything we did started out with "No way". Ben do you want to get in the boat? - "No way!" Once we got in the boat, he was fine. Benjamin, do you want to get in the lake and swim, "No way!" Once he saw Ryan in the water, you couldn't stop him from jumping in. The only thing that was a for sure "No way" was the fireworks! Man did he not like the sound of the boom! Both nights (3rd & 4th), he had a death grip on me! Maybe next year, he will enjoy the fireworks! Thank E & R for a great trip! Attach is a picture of the boys on the 4th! Happy 4th birthday cousin W, glad we were there to celebrate!

Fireworks were a no go for Ethan too. After they were over he still kept his hands over his ears for a full 15 minutes. Sounds like a fun weekend!

I am glad you guys had a good time. Parker wasn't sure about the KABOOMS either. He kept saying 'don't like this show!'

Ryan told me he was scared too. Don't tell him I told you.

Glad you're blogging. I was really hoping for one more blog that Kim ask me, "Have you read so and so's blog?"

Maybe you, Jenny, Paige, Kelli, Kim and the others who blog can just go out to eat once a week and tell all your stories and share all your pictures and then one person could act like the group historian and just send me a report for the whole group.

Kidding!

Joel, I'm totally down with that if you pay. I think the first one should be at The Cheesecake Factory since it sound like Kim loves cheesecake.
