4th of July!

We didn't really get out to do much on the 4th. Josh worked all day, while the girls and I just played and hung out at home. We had planned to go over to Thanksgiving Point for Fireworks and such when he got home at around 7:30. I made sure that the girls took an extra long nap since I knew they would be up late. And then I dressed them in their jammies before we left. We decided that it would be better to walk since there aren't many roads that lead to Thanksgiving Point and figured that if we drove we would definitely get stuck in major traffic coming home. So we loaded up the stroller and set off on our approximate 2 mile walk. Upon our arrival we found a nice shady place on the grass and set up our things. We then decided that hamburgers and hot dogs sounded good for dinner so we went to the stand not too far from us. For the next couple of hours we ate, and played while waiting for the fireworks to begin. And quickly realized that we should have brought more things to keep the girls busy. But it was a fun time outside. When the fireworks began the girls became entranced by them. At least for the first few minutes. After a while they went back to playing with their glow necklaces and eating the candy and other treats which were brought by Josh's sister. They did enjoy the fireworks though. All in all it was a pretty good show. After the show we began our walk home. And boy were we glad that we walked! Traffic was horrible! But we just whizzed by everyone in their cars. By the time we got home it was about 11:30 and we were expecting to sit out a little longer while some neighbors did some of their fireworks. But luckily it turned out that didn't happen. Needless to say, the girls were up until about midnight or a little later. However considering the time of night they were pretty well behaved. We had a really great time! Here are a few pictures.

The girls loved the kettle corn daddy bought!

We want fireworks!

WOW!!!
