The Red, the White and the Blue!!!

I know I'm a little late in posting regarding our July 4th festivities but better late than never...right?!?! We celebrated our 4th a little early on Friday the 3rd by hitting the beach to try and beat the crowd. We were slightly successful but once 2:00 hit and the tide starting coming in, we decided to head home. Avery actually slept on the beach for 3 hours!! Brian and I seriously didn't know what to do with ourselves! After heading home and getting cleaned up, we ventured over to the Joe for a Riverdogs game and to watch the fireworks. We weren't quite sure how Avery would respond to them but she didn't seem to mind them a bit and was actually in awe. After receiving a baseball, a balloon dog, boiled peanuts, M & M's (to keep her awake, of course) and some dip n' dots, it was finally time!! She knew something was up as soon as all of the stadium lights were turned off and the crowd started clapping. She just sat there, wide-eyed and clapped after every loud BANG!! We didn't make it home until 10:15pm but she settled in and off she drifted to sleep. Included are some pictures of us getting ice cream and playing at the park on the 4th. We had so much fun together as a family and I am so thankful to have such a wonderful one at that! Enjoy
