We had a fun time celebrating the 4th of July together. On the 3rd, Derek's family has an annual "camp out" in his mom and dad's backyard. Most years, we are wimps and just sleep at home and come back in the morning. This year, we decided it would be fun to sleep in a tent with Cooper. (Anyone who knows us very well will tell you this is the ONLY time Cooper will be sleeping in a tent this year. We are NOT campers!) We had a lot of fun with his family and we all decided to call it a night around 1:00 AM. We made it until about 2:00 when one of their neighbors dogs started barking, and barking, and barking.... so we gave in and slept inside. Those that stayed outside all night said the dog never stopped barking. It was a long night to say the least. Unfortunately, I didn't take and pictures of the camp out. Woops!

The evening of the 4th we always celebrate with my family by watching the firework "contraption" that my brothers build. (see pictures below!) I really didn't know that MOST people light fireworks one at a time. As long as I've known, we have had these extravagant contraptions to watch and all of the fireworks are connected.
Cute Boys!
Cooper and Grandma Smith
Me and Jordan
Derek and Jordan (He wasn't sure what he thought of the fireworks.)
