4th of July

We decided not to go out this year for the 4th of July. It was rainy weather, plus I knew there would be heavy traffic and the combination of those two things is just not my cup of tea. I'm actually glad we stayed home because as it turns out or neighborhood is pretty big into festivities (should've known that from last halloween!) It seems like everyone on our street was out setting off fireworks! The whole block was filled with thick smoke and the smell of burnt rubber (or whatever that smell is that fireworks give off) and everywhere you looked were little ones running around with sparklers. Oliver had a blast and was not even scared in the least bit! So proud of him for hanging in there- he continues to amaze me :)
