*Tyler, Archer and Sparrow have Fourth of July fun with Korey, Korey's mom and Korey's stepdad. Thank you so much to my best friend Rami-Is-A-Sweetheart for helping me write this! I hope you guys enjoy this! Love • Bree ❤️🤍💙*

It is July fourth, and Tyler, the boys Archer and Sparrow, Korey, Korey's mom Danette and Korey's stepdad Phil will be celebrating!

Korey's mom and stepdad decided to fly in from Michigan to visit with Korey for a few weeks, since they see their other three sons in Michigan much more often!

Tyler is very close to Korey's family because Tyler and Korey have been friends for many years!

Right now, Tyler, Archer and Sparrow are getting ready to drive to Korey's house!

"I'm excited to see Uncle Korey and his Mom and Stepdad! They flew all the way here from Michigan just like Nana and Papa did a few weeks ago!" Sparrow says and smiles widely.

Sparrow is wearing a red button up shirt with some white shorts! Sparrow doesn't usually wear shirts or shorts like this usually, but it is a holiday!

Archer is wearing a similar button up shirt but his is blue along with white shorts and some home-made bracelets to match.

Tyler os wearing a simple shirt, hoping that those white shorts the boys are wearing can stay clean for the most part.

"Yeah! We're gonna see fireworks and have some delicious food!" Tyler tells Archer and Sparrow with a smile.

Tyler, Archer and Sparrow are get in Tyler's car and they head over to Korey's house where he, Korey's mom Danette and stepdad Phil are!

Crouton is going to be watched by Tyler's close friend Hudson! Hudson has a dog named Willie and they will have a play date!

Tyler's iPhone begins to ring and it is Troye. Troye is currently in Australia visiting with his family for a few weeks.

Troye didn't take the boys with him to Australia
because of pandemic. He had to quarantine for a week before even seeing his family. Troye or Tyler didn't want to risk the boys getting Covid on the long flight either.

Tyler and Troye decided that Troye will get the boys for a few weeks when he comes back from Australia.

"Archer, Sparrow, it is Dad! I'm surprised he is calling at this time, it is the morning where he is!" Tyler says handing the phone to Sparrow.

Sparrow happily answers the phone and he and Archer both say hello.

"Hi, Dad!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison to Troye happily.

"Hey, squirts. What's up?" Troye says in a sleepy voice.

"We are in the car and we are heading to Uncle Korey's house!" Archer says with a big smile.

"Yeah! We are going to hang out, eat some yummy food and see the fireworks with Uncle Korey, his mom Ms. Danette and stepdad Mr. Phil!" Sparrow says as he fixes his shoe.

"That sounds like a lot of fun! It is July fifth over here now! What time is it for you guys?" Troye asks Archer and Sparrow.

"It is 2:04pm!" Sparrow says to Troye.

"Australia is seventeen hours ahead of California. It is 7:04am here!" Troye says to Archer and Sparrow. 

"Woah! Time traveler!" Archer says as he and Sparrow both giggle and Troye giggles too.

"What are you doing up so early for?" Sparrow asks Troye playfully.

"Lolli and Pop like to make sure we are all up early!" Troye says and the boys laugh.

"Are you guys being good for Mom?" Troye asks Archer and Sparrow, making sure the boys are behaving.

"Yes!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison.

"Good! I'll be back next week and I'll have to quarantine for a few days before I can see you guys. And then I'll have you guys for a few weeks." Troye says causing the boys to cheer, they really miss their dad since he has been away.

"Yay!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison happily.

"Well, I'll let you guys go! Tell Uncle Korey I said hello and be careful if you guys use fireworks or sparklers!" Troye says to Archer and Sparrow, making Tyler laugh because those statements sound like things he would say.

"We will, Dad!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison happily.

"Bye, squirts! Love you two so so much." Troye says to Archer and Sparrow.

"Bye! Love you, Dad!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison to Troye.

Sparrow ends the phone call and then gives Tyler his iPhone back.

Troye also said to be careful because California has strict rules about fireworks and such, since it is very dry state and plants can catch fire easily.

A short time later, they all arrive at Korey's house and Tyler, Archer and Sparrow go to the front door.

Archer rings the doorbell, bouncing on his feet a little with a big smile.

"Hello! Come on in! It is so good to see you guys!" Danette says happily, inviting the family inside.

"Hi, Ms. Danette!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison with big smiles.

"You guys have gotten so tall since the last time I saw you two! My goodness!" Danette says to the boys, making them both giggle.

"Hi, Danette!" Tyler says happily to Danette as he hugs her.

"Hey, Ty! It is so good to see you too!" Danette says with a cheeky grin.

"Hey, guys!" Phil says as he waves at the boys as he sits on the couch.

"Hi, Mr. Phil!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison to Phil

"Hi, Phil!" Tyler says as he waves at Phil.

Just then, Korey walks down the steps and smiles at Archer, Sparrow and Tyler.

"UNCLE KOREY!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison as they both squeeze Korey into a hug.

"Hey, little turds!" Korey says making the boys laugh loudly, because the boys love potty humor.

Korey told his parents about his and Tyler's relationship. Danette, Phil and Korey's dad John are very happy for the both of them!

"Are you two excited fo see the fireworks tonight? There is a huge fireworks show a few miles away from my house!" Korey says to the boys causing them to get very excited.

"I told them it is a really awesome firework show!" Tyler says as he smiles at Korey.

"I got some sparklers and small fireworks we can do before the big firework show starts!" Phil says causing Archer and Sparrow to cheer.

"I brought come fun Fourth of July cookies! Do you guys want some?" Danette says with a big smile.

"YES!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison as they follow Danette into the kitchen.

Tyler and Korey sneak in a few kisses before Archer and Sparrow come back.

"Look at these cookies, mom!" Archer says with excitement.

"Yeah! Look at these cookies!" Sparrow says as he smiles.

"Oooo! They look yummy!" Tyler says as he smiles at Archer and Sparrow.

"Yeah! They look so COOL!" Sparrow says and admires the decorations on the cookies.

Archer and Sparrow both take one each and politely but happily eat, knowing they'd get told to not spoil their appetites before dinner.

"These biscuits - oops, I mean cookies are soooo good!" Archer says, accidentally using the British and Australian term for the baked treat.

"What time are we gonna do sparklers and fireworks? Midnight?" Sparrow asks semi-seriously.

"Not midnight, silly!" Korey says as he laughs.

"We can do fireworks and sparklers when it turns dark! The big firework show doesn't start until nine o'clock, right Korey?" Tyler says and Korey nods.

"Yes! 9pm is the big firework show! Can you guys make it?" Korey asks Archer and Sparrow.

"Yeah! We are big kids!" Archer says with sass and Sparrow nods in agreement.

"We don't go to bed that early in the summer!" Sparrow says with some sass.

"We can go to Cracker Barrel or somewhere fun for dinner!" Phil says as he smiles at Archer and Sparrow.

"Ooo, yes! There is a new and nice Cracker Barrel near my house." Korey says with a grin.

"How is Troye and his family doing?" Danette asks Tyler,

"They are all doing great! Troye will he be back here in a week!" Tyler says with a grin.

"That's good! I bet Troye will love to hang out with the boys!" Danette says, leaning against the kitchen island.

"Oh yes he does! The boys are going to stay with him for a few weeks when Troye comes back!" Tyler says with a smile.

Archer plays with his homemade bracelets he is wearing, thinking about what he will order for dinner.

Danette noticed the boy's bracelets and smiles.

"Those are pretty! Where did you get them?" Danette asks Archer and Sparrow.

"I made them! I just learned how to make chevron bracelets, so I made some red, white and blue ones!" Archer says proudly, quite a pro at bracelet making.

"He made me one, too! It's opposite patterns from his!" Sparrow says and holds his left wrist out.

"Ooo! I love those! Very nice!" Danette says to Archer and Sparrow happily.

"Thank you!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison.

"Did you make these cookies, Danette? They are soooo good!" Tyler says as he giggles.

"No, I bought them! TSA said I couldn't bring food!" Danette says with a frown.

"Dad brings food when he travels!" Archer says to Danette.

"Yeah! Lolli and Pop send us food all of the time!" Sparrow says as he eats another cookie.

"Well, they mail it to us, they don't bring it when traveling usually." Tyler says to the boys.

"How old are you boys now?" Phil asks the boys.

"Six!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison holding up six fingers.

"Six! Oh my goodness! I remember when you two were itty bitty babies!" Danette says as Archer and Sparrow giggle.

"You do? That's a long time ago!" Archer says and laughs.

"Yeah! That was a long time ago!" Sparrow says as he also laughs.

About thirty minutes later, Korey, Phil, Danette, Tyler and the boys are all at Cracker Barrel!

"Hello! Table for...?" A hostess named Liz asks and brushes her hair back in a ponytail.

"Six, please! Two kids menus and four regular menus!" Tyler says and smiles under his mask.

"Follow me!" The hostess says as she takes Tyler, Archer, Sparrow, Korey, Danette and Phil to a round table.

"Thank you so much!" Tyler, Korey, Danette and Phil.

"My pleasure! Your server will be here shortly!" The server says as she smiles and walks away.

"What do you boys want to have to eat? You can have breakfast all day!" Tyler says as he helps the boys look through the menu since they are still leaning how to read.

"I would like pancakes!" Archer says with a cheeky grin.

"And I want a grilled cheese!" Sparrow says as he smiles.

"Mmm! Sounds good! I'm still deciding!" Tyler says happily to the boys.

A few minutes later, a lady who works the tables comes up.

"Hello, my name is Melina, and I will be your sever tonight! What can I get you all to drink?" Melina greets and then asks the group.

"I'll have water with lemon, please!" Tyler says politely.

"We'll have water, too!" Danette says and Phil nods.

"I'll take a coffee!" Korey says.

"I want chocolate milk, please!" Archer orders his drink.

"I'll get.. apple juice, thank you!" Sparrow says with a grin.

"Alrighty! I'll be right back with those, and then I'll take your food orders!" Melina announces, going to get the drinks.

Five minutes later, Melina comes back to the table and passes the drinks out.

"Thank you so much!" Phil says with a grin.

"You're welcome! Are we ready to order?" Melina asks nicely.

One by one, Tyler, Korey, Danette, Phil, Archer and Sparrow all order their food!

"Alrighty! Your food will be out in about twenty minutes!" Melina says to everyone.

"Thank you!" Tyler, Korey, Danette and Phil both say in unison with big grins.

Archer and Sparrow happily play tic tac toe on a napkin, keeping each other occupied.

Archer and Sparrow then notice a few fans sitting a few tables away and they wave at them.

"Mom! There are some fans over there!" Archer says to Tyler happily.

"Yeah, Mom! See!" Sparrow says as he giggles.

"Don't point, guys. That's rude And I see them!" Tyler says as he waves at the fans as well, causing them to cheer.

"How often does this happen?" Danette asks with a curious look on her face.

"Oh a bit! Sometimes within a few days!" Tyler says and takes a sip of his fancy lemon water.

"Too bad we can't meet them! I bet they'd like that." Sparrow mentions, tilting his head slightly.

"I can! I just can't get too close!" Tyler says as he gets up and stands six feet away from the fans and they take a few selfies.

"Ty loves his fans." Korey says with a cheeky grin.

About eighteen minutes later, everyone's food is brought out and it smells great!

"Here you go, guys! This should be everything!" Melina Yas and another server named Jacques helps bring the food out.

"Thank you!" Korey, Tyler, Archer, Sparrow, Danette and Phil all say in unison.

"You're welcome! Enjoy!" Melina and Jacques both say in unison before they leave.

"Is it good?" Tyler asks Archer and Sparrow and both boys give a thumbs up.

"Good! I'm glad!" Tyler says as he smiles at his boys.

One hour later, after enjoying their meals, Korey, Danette, Phil, Tyler and the boys are finished and are now driving to light fireworks and sparklers before the firework show!

"I'm excited to see the fireworks! And set them off!" Archer says and plays with his bracelets once more.

"Yes! We're going to the beach to do it safely!" Korey says to Archer and Sparrow.

Tyler, Sparrow, Korey, Phil, Danette and Archer all arrive at the beach and they get out of the car.

"What colors are there, Uncle Korey?" Sparrow asks excitedly.

"Well, there's red, blue, green and purple fireworks! But you can set off sparklers!" Korey tells the boys.

"I want a sparkler!" Archer says happily.

"Me too!" Sparrow says as he smiles.

"Okay! We can do sparklers first! Phil and I can do the fireworks!" Korey says to the boys.

The adults don't want the boys to touch the fireworks because they don't want them to get hurt.

Korey pulls out two sparklers and they give them to Archer and Sparrow.

"Woah! How fun!" Danette says with a cheeky grin.

"Keep them away from your clothes and face, there you go!" Tyler says making sure the boys don't get hurt.

"Twirl them around!" Phil says happily as the boys do that.

"Woahhh!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison.

Tyler films a small video of the boys with their sparklers to post on social media and to send to Troye.

Archer and Sparrow do a few sparklers before getting ready for fireworks!

Phil and Korey set up a few fireworks and they get ready to light them up.

"Stand back here. We don't want to get too close!" Danette says as she hugs the boys and they smile.

"Okay! Who is ready for fireworks?" Phil asks out loud.

"I am!" Tyler says as Korey stands behind him and quickly kisses Tyler's cheek while the boys weren't looking.

"MEEEEEEE!" Archer and Sparrow both say in unison with lots of excitement.

Korey and Phil soon set some fireworks and they step back.

"Woah! Look how pretty they are!" Sparrow says in awe.

"They sure are! Wow!" Tyler says happily.

Archer puts down the finished sparkler and covers his ears since the fireworks are loud, but watches and grin.

"I like the purple ones!" Tyler says with a big smile.

"Me too!" Sparrow says happily.

Tyler, Archer, Korey, Phil, Danette and Sparrow all enjoy the beach for works and soon clean up after ten minutes of fun, going to the big firework extravaganza

"I have noise-cancelling headphones for you, Archie! So you won't have to use your hands to block the noise." Korey says to Archer.

"Thanks, Uncle Korey! Fireworks are really loud." Archer replied to Korey.

"Yeah, they are!" Korey says as he plays with Archer's and Sparrow's heads making them both laugh.

"Archer has sensitive ears?" Danette asks Tyler softly.

"He does. He is autistic and has sensory issues because of it." Tyler says to Danette.

"Aw, he is perfect just the way he is, so is Sparrow." Danette says with a big smile.

"They sure are! Thank you!" Tyler says with a big grin.

"Let's load up in the car! We want to get to the fireworks early!" Phil says causing the boys to
get excited.

Korey, Tyler, Danette, Phil, Archer and Sparrow all load up in the car and head to where the fireworks are!

After a fifteen minute drive, they have arrived and they all walk in the friend. Tyler holds two blankets for everybody to sit on while Danette holds Archer and Sparrow's hands.

"Where do guys want to sit?" Phil asks everybody.

"Let's sit back here so we can see the fireworks better!" Korey says with a grin.

"Yeah! I wanna see the fireworks well!" Sparrow says with some sass.

"Me too! I want the best view!" Archer says playfully making everybody laugh.

Archer puts his headphones on before he, Sparrow, Tyler, Korey, Danette and Phil all sit down on the blankets!

Archer, Sparrow, Tyler, Korey, Danette and Phil all put their masks on as well so they stay safe!

Tyler, Danette, Phil, Korey, Archer and Sparrow all happily enjoy the firework show together! :)
