The 4th and some Birthday fun...

Our 4Th of July weekend was outstanding! We had the best time.

We spent time out at the beach - eating, playing and having so much fun!

My brother had an idea to go to Costco and buy a box of fireworks - of course we couldn't just go and look at what Costco had to offer, we just had to buy some. Thank you Costco for encouraging people to buy HUGE boxes of fireworks and also pleasing the pyro at heart (Tyson)! We didn't even get the biggest box. But I know Tyson and my brother had a magnificent time setting them all off - it was good times full of sparkles, pops, snaps, zips, sparks, high pitched whistles and loud obnoxious sounds and many Oooohh's and Aaawee's.

We loved it!
And we finished the night off by watching some pretty fabulous fireworks in the sky!

And let's not forget the BEST part of the weekend...
!TYSON'S 27TH BIRTHDAY!

We made sure to celebrate all weekend!

Here is Tyson opening up birthday presents - he started off with cards from Grandpa Crowther, Mom and Dad Crowther, Mom and Dad Nicholes and Jeremy and Naomi and then he opened presents from Me. Tyson got phone calls from all of his family members which he LOVED - it was so great! Tyson got some really wonderful cards and gifts. THANKS to Everyone for makings Tyson's Birthday so Special!

After presents it was time for cake - here is the Birthday Boy's play-by-play before the candles were lit.

So, pretty sure we always have a great time, but this weekend was fabulous!
