I find nothing more attractive than when Kenton carries Afton in the Baby Bjorn.There is something about seeing my man be a good dad that just melts my heart.
I had to have a picture.
These were some of our favorites. Kenton's favorite was all the people dressed up in Star Wars costumes. Darth Vader was huge we don't know who the guy was but he looked like the real Darth Vader. Kenton would have loved to get pictures but we were chatting with someone as they passed.
During the day, we rode four wheelers, horses, ate yummy food, and spent time with the best company {my grandparents, parents, siblings, and our cousins Kristy, Eric & family}
the day was the perfect combination of warm weather and slight breeze.perfect weather to try out the sweater Grandma got her.
We also attended a small rodeo put on by the trail riding company just next door to our ranch. Normally, it isn't anything too impressive but this year they had this guy named Kaiser. He was good at everything but he specialized in trick riding. He rode standing up with no hands, hanging off the side of the horse, and he even got off the horse-bounced off the ground-and got back on all while the horse was moving. Quite impressive Kaiser. After the rodeo, the company put on a quite impressive firework show.
We then set off some fireworks that Chad and Brittany picked out.
THIS IS WHERE WE ALMOST DIED!
Famous Last Words {Brittany,Fullmer-Parkinson that is}: I am WAY excited about this one. This is the one I picked out!
The firework was called "Red, White and Blue" it was suppose to shoot red, white and blue streaks into the air and explode in the air. There were suppose to be 4 seperate explosions.
The first explosion went great.
This is a picture of the second explosion.
That's right, instead of shooting into the air, it shot sideways into a pile of wood.
This is a picture of the third and fourth explosion.
The third explosion chose to explode just near the large tank of diesel fuel.
The fourth, streamed toward us (who were all sitting outside the shed). The ball just touched my dad's leg and then went through his legs.
Somewhere between the second and fourth explosion, we all ran for cover. Most of us ran into the shed. I ran right here. . .
I was about three feet from the explosion. And the full gas can was even closer.
How no one or thing caught on fire is a miracle. We are all safe and so is the ranch.
we decided to celebrate our safety by lighting our last firework.
this time, Eric screwed the firework into a solid block of wood.
much more safe.
