Fireworks Show

We went to a local 4th of July celebration and had a picnic with friends on the 3rd. It was a really great time with live music, train rides, and an awesome fireworks show! We ate fried chicken and played hard until after 9:30pm when it was dark enough for the show to begin. Gabe was so excited and beyond exhausted but had energy galore and no idea what he was in for once the show started. Daddy bought us all glow necklaces and we were all set with camera in hand when the fireworks began.

Gabe called them "stars" and "flashlights" at first but we talked about fireworks and oooohed and aaaahed at all of the beautiful colors twinkling and exploding in the sky above. He wasn't afraid of the noise at all. It was such a joy to experience this with him. The Fourth is one of my absolute favorite holidays and I hope it will be one of his too. With spectacular views like this, how could it not be?
