Fourth of July


Up until this year, we hadn't gone to see a fireworks show! Unbelievable since you're 3 1/2!! But your first one, you were a baby, your second one we came home from the hospital with Aiden (plus it was raining), your third one Aiden was a baby and now here we are at your fourth one and you got to watch not one but TWO fireworks shows!! Sherwood put a show on Saturday, July 3rd at Sherwood Forest. It began raining right as we were leaving the house but we headed over that way anyway, just to see. Thankfully we did because the rain stopped and we were able to get a good front row seat so we could watch them from the car. You loved watching them and I loved watching you--especially when you would make remarks about them ("Wow, that one is beautiful" or "Woah, that was sparkly/pretty/loud").

Our second show was the "big fireworks" show on the NLR side of the river. I had never been to those so it was new for me as well!!  We were afraid it would be incredibly crowded but we really lucked out with our seating--we took a big blanket and spread out on our grassy spot. It was a spectacular show and you and Aiden thought they were definitely neat!! It didn't last as long as I thought it would be the grand finale was awesome!! Can't wait to watch them again next year--in fact you've asked me several times since then when can we go to watch them again.  I love making memories like these with you!!
