Every year we go to our church for the 4th of July. It is close to the fairgrounds, where the fireworks are shot from, and we have a great view from the church parking lot. The children's ministry at church always provides fun inflatables for the kids to enjoy before fireworks.
Malone loved the inflatables this year and spent all of her time at one that was set up like a batting cage. She loved hitting at the ball. I think we may have a ball player on our hands.
We also eat and have a cookout at the church. This year they provided a classic cookout food, hotdogs. They were very good and they definately made it feel like summertime.
This year there was a lot of lightening right before the fireworks which made me EXTREMELY nervous because I am very fearful of storms. My nerves had finally had enough and we decided we needed to pack up the kids and try to find a spot to watch the fireworks from our car, instead of the open, exposed parking lot. Justin had a friend whos family was having fireworks at their house so we headed there. I stayed in the car with Jagger (I was afraid it would be too loud for him since the fireworks were being shot from right there in their front yard) and him and Malone got out and watched them. I was really worried Malone would not like the fireworks since she is afraid of loud noises, but she did really well and enjoyed them. After the fireworks we came home and Malone played with the glow in the dark chalk that my mom had gotten her to have for the festivities. She LOVED it and had a blast drawing with it.
I am so thankful we live in America where we are free! God Bless!!
