Ryan and his dad have been running a fireworks stand for years!!! Seriously. They have probably been doing it for about 10 years. When Ryan and I were dating I had always pictured how fun it would be to hang out there with our future kids and they would get to hang with their grandpa, etc. That it would be something fun that the kids' friends knew about and could always have some cool fireworks parties. Then life happened...being newlyweds I didn't understand why he'd want to go off and be away for 2 weeks (during holidays) for just "money". So, I would go help as way to spend time with him. I'm pretty sure I said more than once..."We aren't going to have kids until Ryan stops selling fireworks, it would be too hard and holidays are for family"...well, I've been proved a liar. Ha! Since I'm getting to stay home with our kids, the fireworks sales have been the biggest blessing we've had! Ryan goes to the Academy and then goes out there for a few hours to relieve his dad and then comes back home to get ready for the next day. I've never felt more "taken care" of before. Luckily it's a short two week job (with a lot of work) but it will help us for the whole year. Since we don't get to see Ryan often during these 2 weeks, we decided to visit him!! This was the second time Cade had been out there but the first time he was a baby (see photo below) and it was Lyla's first time, too!

| Watching daddy sell fireworks from the trailer. He couldn't wait any longer so he went out there and helped sell. He just threw random fireworks in a bag. Loads of help!! |

| Cade wanted one of those flags so bad! |
 |
| Selling Daddy and Lyla some fireworks! |
 |
| He's quite the salesman if he can sell fireworks to a stand owner! |
 |
| We picked out some fireworks for Cade's friend for his birthday party! Cade thought he could use some Roman Candles....um...Ryan vetoed that one! |
