July 4th, 2007

Today we went to the fireworks in our town. We got some close seating across the Tridge. It was around 8pm when we got to where we were going to sit. Later there were people lined up back to back crossing in the Tridge - I was glad we had gotten there early. There was a band playing before the fireworks started. Jacob was sitting in his stroller when the fireworks started. He soon moved to Daddy's lap and held my hand most of the time. He really enjoyed them the entire time. Adam was awake in my lap at the start of them but quickly fell asleep. When leaving there was alot of people lined up to get across the Tridge but it didn't take long and we were on the road. When we got home we lite sparklers. Jacob seemed to think they were really cool but he wanted to stay a couple feet away. He would hold them when I helped him but he was still a little scared. I decided to stick one in the end of him stick and then he didn't want any help holding it - he could do it himself. He loved to go back and forth and do circles with it. It was a great evening for our family and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!
