The Fireworks

And what is the 4th without a little light show? After everyone left, we finished cleaning up - at least, finished what Julie and Troy hadn't done -THANKS SO MUCH!!- pulled the boat out and headed home. I am certainly moving much slower than when I wasn't almost 8 months pregnant. It was just after 9:00 that we got home. I took Reeves inside only to change his diaper and put some clean, dry clothes on him, then we were off again, up to the Navy Base to watch the show. Thank heavens for a nice lady with a golf cart who must have felt sorry for me as I waddled as quickly as I could up the road, following B and Reeves in the stroller. She gave us a ride all the way to the river. That was such a treat. I think the boys would have made it in time for the show, but I probably wouldn't have!
Reeves loved watching the fireworks. He loved watching it from his daddy's shoulders and playing with his daddy's hat. I enjoyed watching my two favorite boys cap off a wonderful day with a wonderful show.
On the walk back, which I could handle because we weren't in a rush, Reeves got to be pushed through the fountain and, his favorite of all, got to pretend to be a train. There are lots of unused tracks on the old Navy Base, and it just so happened that these were the straightest shot to our car. He loved it! And I loved how much shorter it made our trip back!
We all slept like champs that night.
