Day 235

Happy 4th of July, Luciana!! :) It was our baby's first Independence Day, and we had a blast-- Mana, Holly & Lily came over, and we all walked to the fair at the middle school in our neighborhood. It was a smallish fair, but it was perfect for just dropping in on like we did. P rode the Ferris wheel with Daddy, but didn't seem too jazzed about it:

Lulu and I waited at the bottom and watched...

We had to go back home to get the girls dinner and naps before coming back out to the middle school grounds where we watched the fireworks show. It was amazing-- huge, colorful, long and LOUD. Luciana watched from her Ergo, and seemed to be interested, but would turn her head when it became too bright. I tried to keep her little ears covered, it was sooooo loud! Poor Penelope didn't like it so much-- she cried almost the whole time. It didn't help much that a little boy behind us kept screaming, and I think that added to her fear. :( We walked home, and got the girls right to bed-- at 10pm!! The latest they've ever been outside! We had a great time, and we are so glad we decided to do it. :) 

Goodnight.
