4th of July 2010

As we did last year we started the 4th of July off with pancakes at papa and Nana's house and then headed down the street for the parade. Last year I kept you in the stroller the whole time. This time however I believe you stood the ENTIRE time. You were really good and running out in the road to get candy when there weren't any floats coming. And you some times dashed out at the exact WRONG moment! Although everyone clapped for you, Mommy was scared to death.

Daddy locked his keys in the car that morning and we had to wait for uncle Daniel to get home from seeing uncle Josh and Aunt Nikki in South Dakota so we stayed at Nana's house ALL day long! This is the first year that you've like fireworks. Last year they scared you to death. This year I could barely keep you away from the big, very illegal ones that uncle Daniel brought home. Although you did do a roman candle or two. Sparklers were by far your favorite.
I'm so glad you like the 4th of July as much as I do. Can't wait for next year when we'll be able to share with your little baby!
Love Mommy
