I've realized that 4th of July never works out the way we plan, but it always works out and we have good time! Yesterday was no exception. We started off our day by going to breakfast with my Gram Lorenz who turned 89...YIPEE! It was a fun time and afterwards I took Braeden & Darren took Brooklynd and we went shopping...WOOHOO! Brooklynd and Darren played at home and napped together :-) It was a beautiful day and a whopping 90 degrees I believe! Just about noon Braeden & I arrived home and after their lunch and Braedens nap, the boys and I headed outside to play a bit, it was so much fun and I snapped some shots of them playing in their new playhouse while Darren got to do a quick virtual flight on the computer. We had decided to head down to Meldrum Bar Park where we typically do to watch some fireworks about 6:30ish...we waited for Brooklynd to finish his nap, as per our usual we were running a bit late, but we got news from Trista that they were closing Meldrum Bar for the night and sending everybody home because some one got injured last year apparently....so as we were headed there we got the phone call, so instead we went to Oaks Park, but later settled just above Oaks Park at Sellwood Park. We played with the boys, ate and hung out with our family and some friends. When it got dark my dad & Darren set off some standard fireworks for the boys and some other people in the park let off some bigger (probably illegal) ones, which I love, however Braeden was terified, he didn't talk for the rest of the evening so you know he was really scared! He sat on Jason, Trista and my moms lap until the big fireworks began and he moved to mine, where we snuggled until it was over. He was so nervous he was sweating and so hot! Brooklynd loved the fireworks, and was cracking me up. Whenever he gets sleepy he gets so silly he is always happy but does silly things! He was so adorable, he kept laying himself down in the playpen and then standing back up....he was so exhausted by the time the fireworks were over and he fell asleep on the way home. I am sure Braeden will like the fireworks by next year and Brooklynd may be terrified, but all in all it was a fun evening.
