We had a great time celebrating the forth of July. Daniel got off of work at noon on Tuesday and then he went rock climbing at the gym a few hours later. So the boys and I went up to where the festival was being held by ourselves. I parked the car and then took a shuttle over to where the festival was. It was interesting getting myself with the two boys on the bus because I had to carry both up the steps. Carter LOVED riding on the bus especially since he had just learned how to say the word "bus" earlier that day.
I was suppose to be meeting Daniel and a couple other families there but I ended up getting there way before every one else so we spent our time playing on the playground and playing with a puppy.
Once Daniel got there, we road on the train. Daniel road with Talon and I road with Carter. They both LOVE trains now so they were very excited!
Next, we went and got some food because we were starving. The food was the only thing that cost money and it was really cheap. You can't beat Dickies BBQ sandwich, chips and a drink for $3.
It was really crowded and hot!
Our boys got to go meet some police officers, firemen and paramedics. They got some stickers and their very own fireman hat! Carter wanted so bad to ride in the ambulance!
You can see the excitement on his face (:
We found a place to sit on the grass and our friend met up with us. Talon was terrified of the fireworks but he was okay as long as he had his head buried on Daniel's shoulder.
Carter had the complete opposite reaction. He couldn't get enough of them. He kept saying, "more, more"!
Carter and Abby laying down watching all the pretty fireworks.
Carter staring at them while Talon is perfectly fine not seeing them. It was actually a great show and very long. We had a really fun time and maybe next year Talon will love them too.
