This year for the 4th of July we had two different celebrations. The first celebration was on Friday July 3rd. We wanted to take Noah to see the new Ice Age movie because he is very much into dinosaurs and this Ice Age was all about dinos. We also wanted to hang out with my Mom and Sis so it worked perfect for us to head to the Arlington Highlands to watch the movie and then eat dinner. After dinner we were going to go to the downtown Arlington area to watch fireworks. But, as we were waiting to sit and eat we realized they were going to have fireworks there at the Highlands. My Mom lives about 3 minutes from the Highlands so we were like 'Mom did they have fireworks last year'? Her response was 'Yes, but I thought it was b/c it was a new place.' So, thankfully we stumbled apon the fireworks and didn't have to drive to downtown. We sat outside on the patio at Gloria's and ate. The service was horrible and we thought we would be able to see the fireworks from out seats but we could not because the building blocked them. So, while I ate the rest of the fam walked about 6 feet to see the fireworks. So all still worked out well.
Notice the napkin tucked into his shirt. Not sure where this came from b/c I have never done that with him before.
On July 4th we did our celebrating with a group of our friends. We had a cookout and went swimming over at Julia's and Corey's house. We had so much fun and Noah especially liked driving Emma's pink jeep. Once it got a little dark and before the official fireworks started Julia had some left over sparklers and Brian pulled out a little sack of "fireworks" that a drug rep had left at his office.
Noah enjoying his sparkler. I love that smile.
All the kids and adults watching B light the chicken and tank fireworks. They basically made loud nosies and shot fire out the rear. Most of the kids seemed to like it but if you look closely Kylee has her ears covered. Notice all the big kids are at the back and our brave babies are right up front.
All the kiddos laying out to watch the official fireworks.
