We spent the fourth in Kauaii doing store bought fireworks like when I was a kid.  It was really fun, and every one loved it but Scout.  For some reason, the loud sounds of the fireworks bother him, and he bowed out to the hammock with B once the fireworks got started.

Here is Icka with Seth’s boys.

Scout won a dollar, and was obviously pretty excited about it.

Every time I asked Icka who her favorite cousin was, she would always (and still does) say Gabe.  not that Gabe isn’t great in his own right, but she loved him because she thought he looked like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals.  She would even argue with Liza over who was “Darla”.  And when Gabe would go anywhere, she would say, “Don’t leave Alfalfa!”  We died over this.  Gabe was game at first, but I think about day two of the Alfalf saga, he was getting a little over it.  But not my Icka — she still talks about “Gabe” — or “Alfalfa”!

Christian was so nice to Icka — and isn’t he darling!

Icka finished the night with Grant and Covey on the hammock.
