4th of July

Hope you had a nice 4th of July! Rachel spent Saturday over at Grandmama and Granddaddy's but ended up napping through the neighborhood parade... So this is her in the decorated wagon after nap. Very cute wagon!

We went to see the fireworks in Woodstock Saturday night when Michael and Rachel got home. This is Rachel's first experience with fireworks - the first time I've ever considered taking her. Overall, she did great. We sat on the grass by the road in front of Home Depot. Here she is ready for the show.


And this is how she started out watching the fireworks - with her hands and mine covering her ears... It was cute. We didn't have to keep them there for too long though, she got used to it. (Not like it was really all that loud or anything...) She would watch for a while and then get distracted and then watch for a while, etc. But when it was over, she didn't want to leave.


I'm glad we went, it was a good first experience for her!
