Independence Day

On Independence Day Brian put on a great fireworks show for his girls. First the girls had fun with the throwing snappers. Then Brian set to work with the light show. It was great, although a little strange to be so close. The girls in their pj's and Dora chairs inched closer and closer to me as the show went on. Rather than oohing and aahing at the fireworks they would burst out giggling at their favorite ones.

After nap time we headed up to Pepperell to partake in the July 4th festivities with Amelia and Eric. We enjoyed a nice relaxing time at the playground and chatting while we waited. Brian and I had repeatedly warned Addie that both girls had to stay cheerful and well behaved if we were to see fireworks. Both girls did amazing and we enjoyed some fireworks. Edith was a little stunned with the loud booms. Brian taught her to say "boom" and "oooh" which helped. Addie of course thought Amelia was her special play partner and had a grand time playing with her and sharing cotton candy with her. Overall a nice day and great to see friends.

Happy Birthday America
