This was after the mini-parade that we had in the neighborhood, as well as a family party we stopped by at.
This was probably the first time that we did something just the 4 of us, usually we always end up making plans with other friends or family, but this time nothing came up, so we decided to do something different and had a really great time.
We enjoyed the games, and crafts and all sorts of really fun things that they had organized for the kids, but most of all I think we really enjoyed cuddling up on the blankets and laying back to watch the fireworks which were happening right above our heads.
Even though we also watched fireworks at Westvew HS the night before, these were by far most impressive fireworks we have ever seen.
We did have a little scare while being in such a crowded place with two kids to want to do their own thing. While daddy went with both kiddos to get food, Cameron decided to walk off into a crowd of people and for about 4 minutes we had lost him. This was a pretty scary thing, I am pretty sure my heart was pounding out of my chest, while all 3 of us were in panic mode looking for our little guy. Luckily I saw someone noticed that he was lost and they had picked him up about to start looking for his parents. I happen to be running past the booth and heard someone say "lost", and turned around and saw someone holding him... what a relief that we found him. Those 4 minutes seemed like 20 minutes. and how scary it was to see a complete stranger holding your baby. Needless to say we didn't let him out of our sight the rest of the night and celebrated our independence with some fabulous fireworks!
