Life at 1572: 4th of July 2009

4th of July 2009

We had a very nice 4th of July. We grilled out the first half of the day. Stuffed ourselves with yummy grilled food, and then we lounged around the front yard while Jack took his nap. Then we cleaned up to head up north a bit to one of the local middle schools for fireworks. We gathered our blankets, chairs, pillow for Jack, and I popped some popcorn. I think this is our third year watching the fireworks from this middle school. I love it because everyone starts to gather about three hours before the show, and we just all spread out on the field. It has more of a small town feel to it. They sell burgers, hotdogs, ice cream, and cans of soda with the proceeds going back to the schools. I bought Jack some glow sticks early because I missed out on them last year, and he was upset. I just love it!
Hi Mom!

We ate some more food, and let Jack fill up on treats. Zach and I ran around the field with him playing kick the ball to pass the time. It was fun. Then we snuggled together to watch the fireworks. They were awesome! Huge and they feel like they are really close. While we were waiting with just a few minutes to go Jack kept saying, “Here comes the castle!” Ha-ha, this kid has been to Disneyland so many times that he thinks all fireworks come with a castle! He loved the show. He didn’t get scared, and was busy shouting out the colors. A very fun and memorable 4th.
Looking Cool
