Let Freedom Ring

So last year's Fourth of July was slightly tramatic for Kapri.

This year was a whole different story. She has a blast. It was filled with cousins, popscicles, a parade, fireworks and she even got to hold her own sparkler.  A few days before the 4th we went to the famous Dr. Bills fireworks.  I was a little leary to do this for serveral reasons: 1. Last year, 2. Shw would be up significantly past her bedtime, and 3. I was bookin it alone.  Well we ended up going and sat with my friend Megan and her family.  Her and Zane had so much fun together and she LOVED the fireworks.  It is a very long program and takes a while to get exciting because they do a narrative beforehand intermixed with periodic fireworks.  Well it finally gets to the exciting part where the fireworks are consistently going off. I look down expecting to see utter excitment and what do I see.........a sleeping child.  She slept through all of the exciting stuff. They are so loud and bright and she is just snoozing.  So the last some is the national anthem so you have to stand up. So I stand up with her in my arms.  The last firework booms and she pops right awake and starts cheering and clapping. 
All in all we had a pretty great Indepence Day/week. And just maybe next year Kapri will get to see the fireworks.
