Happy Birthday America



This is the first year in a couple of years that we've had Independence Day plans. In fact, last year Kurt and I laid in bed and laughed at ourselves as we crabbed about people shooting off fireworks at 10 p.m. We felt really old.

So we we very excited when our friends invited us to their new house for a BBQ and fireworks at Kirkwood Park. This was Weston's first firework experience and he LOVED it. He gave a running commentary throughout the show: "A green one!" "A waterfall!" "The fireworks are falling on my face!" "Who's making the fireworks?" It made it that much more entertaining to see him discover it for the first time. Lily slept back at the house (a few stayed back), but I don't think she would have appreciated the booms bothering her beauty sleep anyway.

Sparklerin' it up...
