Our 4th of July Festivities
I absolutely love the 4th of July…not only because we celebrate our freedom, but because I LOVE fireworks! I love everything about them…especially the loudness. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a fireworks show every year since I can remember, but only a couple shows REALLY stand out. The first one was in 2002…the July before Aaron and I were married. He lived in Little Rock, and I went to visit, and we went down to the AR River to see the show…and, let me tell you it was AWESOME! They were right over our heads, so incredibly close that pieces of fireworks were landing around us. And of course they were wicked loud. The other memorable show was in Chicago in 2003…the July right after we were married. Aaron and I went to a rooftop party and saw a fireworks show from there…that was pretty amazing, too!
I don’t have any pictures of our Little Rock show, but I do have two pictures of our Chicago rooftop experience. They’re a little a lot blurry…but cool none the less.
Anyway, enough reminiscing…
This year we had Aaron’s brother, Jacob, and his soon to be wife and daughter over to our house for some swimming and a 4th of July bbq. Of course, my one goal for the night was to get to Red, White and Boom to see the fireworks. I love sharing this fun experience with Ava…to see her face light up is just awesome. So after dinner, we went over to the Craig Ranch soccer complex to partake in the action.
Let’s go!
Ava pushing River…these 2 were too cute!
Dancing in the bubbles
we’re walking, we’re walking
the hot air balloons were way cool…
of course the night wouldn’t be complete without some dancing
the only picture i got of my munchkin and me
alas…the show begins… this is the only picture of any fireworks I could get. my camera is lacking in the “good picture taking ability” department.
Our parking spot just so happened to be the perfect spot for watching the show…and it did not disappoint! It was a great show, and we had so much fun! Yay…I can’t wait until next year!
