Fourth of July

We braved the crowds and headed downtown for the big fireworks show. It was just as crowded as expected, but the fireworks were amazing! We weren't sure how this was going to go with Samuel in tow, but he LOVED it! They didn't start till 9:30 which is way past his bedtime, the crowds made it so he had about a two foot square to run around in, and we didn't know how he would react to the noise as last year he slept through them. He loved listening to the music before hand, did lots of dancing and guitar playing. And, anxiously anticipated the "boom boom boom" (while banging his hand on his chest) of the fire works. When they started, he clapped and cheered after each one and than asked for "mo" (more) over and over and over again.

Waiting for them to start...
He couldn't take his eyes off the sky...
... and, out! He was asleep before we had driven three blocks.
I can't figure out how to get my videos facing the right direction, so you have to tilt your head to watch :)
