The 4th of July.

We love the 4th of July.


Yesterday we really took time to have fun & celebrate & be out among the community. It has been a long time since we did that on the 4th (not sure what in the heck we have been doing in the past, but this was by far one of the best).

The day began with Chris walking in the Harrisburg parade. Awesome small town with a BIG parade. Simon was all over the fire trucks. He did amazing with lots of walking, lots of people, and a big plate of fresh french fries. After the plate we sat on the grass along the river and Simon danced to the live band. Perfect. And the weather was perfect too.


After our Harrisburg adventure we headed home for naps, followed by a party at our friend's Heather & Kyle's home.

Great to see a bunch of friends that I have missed. It has been way too long since we got together. The challenges of being on the road so much. Simon was pretty much done with people for the day by the time we got over to their house - he did so awesome in the morning. He chose to go up to one of their daughter's room and just play by himself (in the play kitchen of course). He stayed up there for about an hour and then he was ready to come outside. Seems to me he just knows what he needs - a little time on his own to be mellow and just play.


Kyle put on a super fountain show for all the kids before it was dark. Gotta love seeing all the kids - it was probably the first time that the amount of kids almost equaled the amount of adults on hand. Cool to see that...


After Kyle's amazing fountain show we headed back home for our neighbor's block party. This man is ALL ABOUT fireworks. He went all out on the COOL sorts of fireworks that you need to travel to Washington state to pick up. The BIG ones. Awesome show. And one of his friends was playing the electric guitar - full on live show in our neighborhood. There were things going off all over the place - totally a sky full of beauty.

Simon hit his tired point about 9:30pm and we headed inside. Ate some popcorn and then headed up to our bedroom to watch some more out our window. We loved that part just as much as the whole rest of the day.


Chris and I were so proud of Simon. He is really growing up and being able to communicate better all the time. We spent less time chasing him around and more time just enjoying watching him experience all the cool things happening around him. LOVED that. Totally made it a great holiday.
