A very fun 4th of July

Hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July! Anthony was off on Friday which made for a very nice 3-day weekend for us. It was a nice mix of accomplishing many of the items on our to-do list as well as just relaxing around the house and taking it easy. Saturday evening we did take the girls out to see the fireworks which was a ton of fun. This was the first fireworks show on the 4th for both girls since we didn't take Sofia her first year since she was only 3 months old and last year she was in Italy.

Sofia has been talking about fireworks for weeks now and was beyond excited. She was so good as we drove to the spot and "tail-gated" for over an hour before the show began. We popped open the back of the Pilot and Anthony, Sofia and I set up camp in the back with our drinks (tea and milk) to watch the display. Sofia was fascinated with all the people there and kept asking to see the fireworks. Once the show did start, she sat on my lap for about 20 seconds before she decided she had had enough and wanted to go home. She didn't cry but did ask about 15 times to go home! Anthony and her sat in the back seat for a few minutes together and then she ended up watching the rest of them from the back seat peeking out from under the head rest. It really was too cute!
