Our 4th

This year's 4th of July was pretty low key. Since we got back from camping the night before there was lots of clean up and laundry to do. Nate spent the majority of the day cleaning up the boat while I stayed with the kids and did laundry. That evening we went out to dinner since neither of us wanted to cook, nor did we have groceries. Buffalo Wild Wings just opened by our house and the fireworks stand was right next door. We got a few fireworks since we weren't sure if Andrew would like them, then headed to dinner with my parents.

We headed back to our house after a quick stop to get some frozen yogurt. Andrew really had no interest in doing fireworks, so we started by showing him the popits. He loved them! Unfortunately we only bought one box. We moved on to sparklers, which he didn't like, and then the fountains which also freaked him out. He really had no interest in any of the fireworks until our neighbors came home with their twin boys who are about the same age as Andrew. Then Andrew perked up and had tons of fun. They gave him a few more box of popits and he was screaming and yelling "yeehaw" while watching all of the fireworks. It was hilarious! He stayed up till probably 10 that night, thankfully he took a nap that day. Everyday since he's asked to do more fireworks.
