After playing in the water outside and then a short naptime, we headed downtown to celebrate the Fourth with some friends from church. Unfortunately Nate had to go to work not long after we got there, but he drove in his car and helped me get the kids to our friends’ house which was a pretty good walk away. We could have gotten a closer parking spot, but I had a feeling parking further out would mean less traffic to get home…and thankfully that was the case! We ate dinner including some really good ribs, and then Kaden and Asa Jack played in a little pool on the porch. I didn’t bring their bathing suits, so Asa just played in his diaper…which kept getting bigger and bigger, so funny!! Kaden went in his shorts which we ended up putting in the dryer a little later since he didn’t like being wet!
Later on while Kaden and Asa were playing, Ari and I went for a little walk, he was really fussy…his naps were all messed up an he was so tired, but there was too much to see. We visited with some friends who live nearby and enjoyed the fact that it wasn’t super hot. When we got back, it was about time for the fireworks. We had a great view of the downtown show from the upstairs balcony but we could also see the beach fireworks. Kaden kept talking about the Disney fireworks, and Asa Jack watched the first part with his hands over his ears, but they both really enjoyed it. Ari is making a funny face in the picture, but the fireworks really didn’t bother him. And right after this I offered him my water, he drank quite a bit and was much happier…and quite wet!! After that, we made the walk back to our car, thankfully with help, changed the boys into pajamas in case there was traffic and headed home. Ari finally gave up and fell asleep on the walk back! The drive home was really easy, good thing we didn’t go to the beach..the traffic line leaving the beach stretched on for a very long time!
