We had a really fun 4th of July this year. It was extra fun because this was the first year the Evan was really into it.
On the 3rd they had a 4th of July celebration at a park near our house. I took Evan. It was very crowded and a little crazy, so I think next year we will just park somewhere with our chairs, away from the crowd, and enjoy the fireworks that way!
Here Evan is enjoying the live music and rocking out with his little glow sticks.
We ended up leaving the park and walking back to the car. There was some craziness about a fight or a shooting or something in the park, so I opted to leave the crowd and we walked to the car and watched the fireworks from there. It was really cool because we were right under the fireworks. Evan got a little freaked out because it looked the the fireworks were going to land on us!
Of course the fireworks don't look as cool in pictures as they did in person.
Here is where Evan is freaked out by the fireworks. He was practically hiding in the bushes. We ended up sitting in the car and watching from there. He enjoyed that much more!
And here we are on the 4th of July. Wynn was in charge of lighting all the fireworks. He did a great job!
Our friends Michelle and Spencer and their kids came over and watched fireworks and hung out with us. Everyone had a blast and the best part was that there were no injuries this year, even WITH sparklers! Yay!!
The whole gang. Even Wynn's dad was here with us this year.
Fun with sparklers. Notice Evan's shoes? Yes...that is one cowboy boot and one sandal (which is too small). For some reason he was insistant of wearing those. Don't ask me why.
Would it be the 4th of July without watermelon? I think not!
