Fourth of July

We had a great time this 4th of July! We went to Busch Gardens to see the fireworks, and I slowly realized that this was Nicholas's first time being up really late outside. He was mesmerized by the fact that stars really exist in the sky outside of books! He enjoyed seeing them twinkle and singing to them! However, he was not so excited by the fireworks making loud booms. He didn't see much of them- he buried his head in Daddy's neck and sang along to the patriotic songs but wanted nothing to do with seeing them. I realized that fireworks are a 3-D image, and it must seem like they were going to fall on his head. Needless to say, he did have a fun time playing in the water at Busch Gardens and remembered that part fondly the next day. For the real 4th festivities, no one could compare with the BBQ here on Bridle Path Lane, otherwise known as BPL (in case you didn't know, our street has its very own bumper stickers and website-- http://geocities.com/bridlepathlane/). Nicholas took part in the talent show and had a lot of fun with his neighborhood friends. We hope you come to visit us on BPL really soon!
