We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. Nate had Friday off so we were able to spend a three-day weekend together at home. I don't even think we left Bolivar - it was wonderful to be all together without much of a schedule or 'to do' list.
Cooper experienced his first real fire crackers. We thought, prior to the big display in the evening, we'd purchase a few small fire crackers to light off at the house to see how things go. The fireworks in the evening are very loud so we thought a few small ones would be a good indication of how things would go. Evidently we chose the wrong place to buy fireworks because it seems the first several we tried didn't work. However, when we did find one that worked, it wasn't pretty. He watched as the tank drove around but then when it finally stopped and gave a light crack, he cried like there was no tomorrow. We have video but thought it wouldn't be quite right to post it - it's so sad! Needless to say, Cooper and Miles went to bed BEFORE the evening display.
We spent much of Sunday enjoying the Wimbledon finals, swinging in the back yard, taking a few family walks, etc. Cooper became pretty talkative on Sunday afternoon so we were able to catch him counting and saying the alphabet. You may have to listen closely as he wasn't especially loud. The occasional '1,2,3 Blastoff!' gives an extra touch...
