Oh man! I love these kids! We went up Little Cottonwood Canyon and took them camping. They loved everything about it and they are so fun to be with. Max made his first fire ever. A little boy after my own heart. I'm going to try to raise him right. Although honestly I had a little mishap with fire recently.
We were doing fireworks with the kids and we had started doing sparklers. The wind was so bad that we couldn't get the sparklers to light right. So, I was leaning a garbage can over and lighting them inside of it and handing them off. I was handing a lit one over to Max and I leaned over to get another match so I could light some more and all I see is a bright ball of FLAME sitting next to me on the dry grass. A spark from the sparkler had caught the matches inside the box on fire! I freaked out and luckily we had a big bucket of water in front of me for making sure that fireworks were out before we threw them away so I scooped it up with a sparkler box that was empty and threw it in and it floated. And that was AWESOME seeing a big ball of flame floating on top and then my sister ruined it by shoving it under the water!

HOLY COW!!! I didn't even recognize Sadie. Kids grow up fast don't they? I wish I could have been there to see you with your ball of fire. it would have just been another moment where we could have looked backed on and laughed...and laughed...and laughed some more.
Sounds like a fun time to me! The kids are so grown up!
Those kids are so cute! I can't believe how old they are now. It sounds like you had a lot of fun . . who let you handle the matches anyways ;)
