Hangin with Our Friends

On the 4th of July we joined the D'Angelos at their house for some great viewing of both legal and illegal fireworks. Once again, the illegal fireworks completely trumped the legal ones.

We had a great time and a yummy dinner and after we put the two little ones down for bed we went outside to watch the action. I bought the kids those little poppers since Nikos had so much fun with them when we were camping.

Nikos trys to jump on one of the poppers that he threw (that didn't ignite.)

Jack tries to explode a popper on Niko's head - I am sure this is surprising to no one.

Don't worry, I actually hit Jack with one later and it burst on his arm. Hysterical. I thought all of his arm hair was going to go up in flames. (This is when Taki reminded me that there is no actual flame - whatever. Ruiner-of-fun.)

Ha, I think this is right after I hit him in the arm.

And some way-past-bedtime-and-eating-chocolate kids.

The following day we met up with Marco and Jeff at the zoo. The best part of the day was when Niko and Marco were hopping on the lilypads and Nikos collided with another kid and ended up right in the water, soaking wet. Ha! Poor kid. Luckily it was warm out. He spent the next hour looking like some poor little white trash kid walking around the zoo without a shirt on. Nice parents.
