We had a great time celebrating our nation's birthday. On Sat July 2nd we went out to the Vaclaw's farm along with lots of others and watched the firework show. They do a GREAT job!!!
Notice Mikayla's firework watching position. Last year she hated them. I thought being a year older she would be fine but once again she burried her head in my shoulder and kept her hands over her ears the whole time.
She did finally manage to unveil one of her eyes.....after it was over. As we were walking back to the car she kept saying "Fireworks scary."
On July 4th, we did our traditional evening at Craig's Dad's house. We ate some yummy grilled food and then we went swimming.
The kids had fun jumping into the pool....over and over and over again.
And even more fun was being thrown into the pool
(there goes Connor)
And Austin.....yikes. Luckily with his life jacket on, nothing phases him.
Austin and Klayton on their dad's shoulders doing chicken fights
Doing some wrestling while waiting for the Dewey fireworks to start
We waited and waited and waited....come to find out that they were having some "technical difficulties." Just as we got in the car to drive home they started.....but before we left we were able to watch all of his neighborhood shoot off fireworks which still made for a nice show.
As the neighbors were setting off their fireworks I started pointed out the different colors I was seeing. Mikayla became a little braver and at first uncovered one of her eyes to watch.
And eventually, she calmed down and enjoyed the show.
Happy Birthday America!!!!
