Even though Brian had a good time at his first ever 4th of July celebration last year, this year he was old enough to REALLY enjoy himself and that's exactly what he did! We started our day by going to watch our hometown parade with Uncle Kevin, Aunt June and cousin Erika.
Brian's cousin Krista joined us a little later because she as well as many other members of her swim team were in the parade.
Later in the afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a big 4th of July party. Brian visited with lots of people, went for a swim in the pool and got lots of play time in as well but what made the day perfect was being able to spend some time with his girl Elizabeth!
Grandma and Grandpa's house is very close to where the Village of Lyons shoot off their fireworks display, so with our lawn chairs in the yard we waited for the show to begin. Even though Brian was tired, there was no way he was going to fall asleep until he had seen he show! He snuggled up under a blanket with Mommy to wait for the show to begin and once they did - he couldn't take his eyes off them! He didn't flinch at the noise of the fireworks, in fact, he would say "boom" after the really loud ones. When it was all over he quietly said to Mommy "more". Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for having such a terrific birthday party for America today - we had a great time and can't wait until next year!
