"Daniel hurry up, they're going to be here."
"Ok honey."
"Daniel? Where is the baby bag?"
"Right her honey."
"Do you have the sun screen?"
"Do you have Asher's hat?"
"Yes honey."
"Ok, bathing suit, milk and water."
"Honey, calm down. Asher's been outside before."
"But this is his firs picnic Daniel with all our family."
"I'm sure he'll survive. It's just another holiday."
"No it isn't. It's the July 4th day."
"You mean the 4th of July day."
"But Daniel its food and fun and fire works."
"I've never seen fire works and I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds fun."
"It's just the anniversary of our countries independence to statehood; all countries celebrate in their own way."
"But Asher doesn't know that, he's just going to enjoy the picnic with his uncle's and aunts."
"Yeah, it's big here in Colorado."
"Daniel?'
"Hmmm."
"What are fire works?"
"Well fireworks are one word and date back to the 12th Century China to expel evil spirits."
"Daniel, I'm not sure I want to go now."
"Vala is just a colorful explosion now for celebrating special events."
"EXPLOSIONS! EXPLOSIONS? Daniel I don't want Asher near explosions."
"Now honey he won't be near any explosions. They have a special place to fire the rockets off."
"ROCKETS! There are rockets? Daniel this sounds dangerous."
"I'm not doing very well explaining this to you am I?"
"Daniel, our son is going to be around Explosions and Rockets. That's not dangerous for a baby?"
"Calm honey, calm down. It's just for fun. We will be nowhere near the rockets."
"You do this every July 4th?"
"Yep, families get together and have picnics, fun, games and to top it off fireworks."
"I'm still not use to your customs. We never had such events growing up."
"Well you and Asher are in for a real treat and all adults act like kids when they see fireworks."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Well what do you say little one. Think we can trust daddy to protect us from fireworks?
"Gaa, gah gah."
"Well I think that was a yes."
"Ok, we trust daddy and our friends. I hope."
"Hey, you're both going to have a great time and Asher will love it."
"Well, Ok, then lets get everything ready. Do you have his pacifier?"
"Yep."
"Do you have extra diapers? He may poop more than usual if the fireworks start."
"Yep, do I need any for you my love?"
"Very funny, I've traveled through half the galaxy. I think my poop will stay in tact."
"Hey, that's Jack blowing, time to go family. Hey guy, let go. Uncle Jack hates being late."
"Nice spot you picked Sam. Jack would have us in the hot sun tanning forever."
"He's not a picnic aficionado yet, but I'm working on it."
"Hey Teal'c is kinda attracting the ladies."
"Well he's the only one without a date. Claims he's feeling things out."
"Well darling he has us and Carolyn, Cam, Sam and Jack. He has options."
"Well I think all the food the women keep offering him he has food options too."
"Don't be jealous darling. Your days as a bachelor are over. Now you're daddy meat."
"I don't even want to know what that means."
"One day Jack, one day you will, you will be."
"You've been watching too much Star Wars will T man over there. Hey I'm hungry. Let's eat.
"Oh Daniel, Asher is having a ball and all his uncles and aunt's can't get enough of him."
"Hey, who knew Cam was a surfer dude and Carolyn a surfer girl."
"Daniel you are so naïve."
"I get that a lot honey."
"Asher oh, look, they're starting. What's that sound?
"Ohhhhh, Aaaahhhh."
"Oohhhhh, Aaaahhh."
"Oh Daniel this is beautiful. Look at our little guy, he loves it."
"OOohhhhhh."
"Hey little guy? Didn't daddy tell you this was fun, hmmm? Yes I did, yes I did."
"Oh Daniel I love fireworks."
"I knew that you would."
"Ooooooh."
"See, I told you everyone is like a kid when they see fireworks."
"Yes, Is Oooohing and Aaaaahing a traditional saying?"
"Yes honey, Oooohing and Aaaahing is certainly a tradition in our family from now on."
"Oh Daniel…………..its Asher's second holiday."
"Huh, Oh yeah. Father's Day. That I will cherish forever."
"Ok, everyone lets have our picture taken. Asher's first 4th of July."
"Hey Teal'c you think one of your lady friends can take our picture with all of us together?
"Indeed."
"Ok everyone, one, two, two and a half."
