Happy Fourth!

Our first Fourth of July celebration with AA was very subdued. We knew she wouldn't stay up late enough for the nighttime fireworks so we stayed at home and put her to bed at her regular time. Maybe next year!
We hung out at the club pool, decorations were up for the 4th celebrations. We ate lunch of grilled hamburgers, shrimp salad, fruit, salad and even had one adult beverage while AA drank juice.


We always rush home for the mandatory afternoon nap, so when AA awoke, we had a little tea party with book readings, sipping homemade iced tea and snacked on appetizers (courtesy of Dada).

By 7:30 p.m. we lit some sparklers for AA. I don't know if she was very thrilled with the comotion but we had a few smiles.



And at times, a very serious look at the sparklers!

Hope you enjoyed your Fourth!!
