Fourth of July

So this is the first year Nathan has ever seen fireworks up close and personal, so we were really interested in seeing how he reacted. (last year they were rained out and they had them on Veteran's Day in November instead... so we saw them from afar, which isn't quite the same.)

So we had dinner with some friends and then went to the park to wait until it was dark enough for the fireworks to start.

One of the few pictures of my husband and myself. Thanks Laura for insisting on taking one. It really doesn't happen very often.

Lydia practiced several times what she was going to do when the fireworks started. She didn't like them very well.

Now Nathan..... who I thought would be scared, who I thought would cry, who I thought would be clinging to me the whole entire time... Here's is his reaction...

We lasted for about ten minutes (at the most) and then he was done, ready to get off my lap, play, and roam around the park. I at least figured he would be awed and enjoy it... but no.
