Fireworks at Marilyn's

My Aunt Marilyn lives here in Idaho Falls, and every 3rd of July, some families in her cul-de-sac have a big fireworks display. All the fireworks are totally illegal, but that's what makes them fun. :) So far, they haven't gotten into trouble. The enormous city fireworks display is on the 4th every year, and we haven't gone for years, because you have to mark your "spot" like, days before, and then take turns guarding it, you have to park a zillion miles away, and then it takes several hours to get home afterwards, because the whole region is downtown. I get my fireworks fix from going to Marilyn's, and that's enough for me. Here's Ben:

My cousin Brandon, his wife, Cherise, and one of their daughters (I totally can't remember my cousins' kids names, ever, because there are a billion of them):

My cousin, Kallie, her husband, Wynn, and their two kids:

Two more of Brandon's kids:

Dylan:

My Dad and Sadie (she's very, very sensitive about loud noises. She hates using public restrooms, because the toilets usually flush loudly. It's seriously a big issue for her):

Mom:

Micah (how can babies sleep through stuff like this??):

After the fireworks display, we went inside and chilled for a little while. Marilyn always has a ton of yummy desserts, and we all sit and stand around the kitchen island, eating and chatting. Here are Beads, Moose, and Ivy:

And Lex and Brock:
