Even after Ryder was born, we took him, at just 2 weeks old to the firework display. Last year we braved it again with a just-turned-one-year-old. This year . . . we decided we couldn't break tradition - we took all three boys out for the evening!
Thankfully, you don't have to get to the Park early to get a good spot, but it is good to get there before it is dark! We took a few toys along for Ryder, hoping it would help entertain him. Patrick played frisbee with him - even though he primarily would just throw it straight up in the air, Ryder loved it! All of the boys were in their jammies, ready to get to bed as soon as we got home.

| It's hard to be photogenic when it is dark outside, and a big camera makes a very bright flash. (Jarrett on the left, Harvick on the right) |

| Ryder will not often take a picture with Patrick or I - he is usually too busy playing! It's not a great shot, but I'll take it! |
 |
| Ryder LOVED the fireworks this time. We laid down together, and he would point to the big ones as they lit up the sky. |
Every year we take a self-portrait family picture (even when it was just Patrick and me!). This year proved to be the most difficult yet. And, again, the whole self-portrait thing is not Ryder's favorite. Oh well - at least all five of us are in the shot . . .even if part of Patrick's head is cut off, and Ryder looks like a bit of a grump!

And, a bit of a look back . . . pictures prior to 2009 are now off of the computer, so I just have easy access to the last two years . . .
