Fire and Fireworks

There was a fire on the west side of Timp and the kids enjoyed watching the helicopter dump water on the fire to try and put it out. We thought it would be fun to follow the helicopter and find out where it was filling up it's water bucket. Turns out it was at a water holding tank just a few blocks from our house. The kids thought it was totally cool to watch it fill up and take off to fight the fire. 


Although nearly a month away, Jackson has been so excited for the 4th of July and watching fireworks.  All Spring I have been telling him what events were going to happen chronologically, like: baby Calvin will be born, and then it's Father's Day, and THEN the 4th of July...next comes swim lessons and then first day of school! 

I guess he thought that when I said the 4th of July came after Father's day I meant the DAY after Father's day because this morning (which happens to be Father's Day) he said, "Tomorrow is the fourth of JULY!!" He was so excited, but we had to correct the misunderstanding! Anyway, here they are with some cousins in red, white, and blue.
