Happy 4th of July
July 05, 2006
We had quite a busy 4th of July weekend. We went to the zoo and she got to drive around in her car instead of the stroller. That was much more fun! Even without a seatbelt she stayed in the whole time and if we took her out for some reason then she had no problem getting back in it. Usually she is climbing out of the stroller even when she is buckled in, and getting her back into it without a fit is quite a feat. She loved the play park there that had lots of fountains for her to splash in.
That evening, we went to Metropolitan park for a fireworks show and a showing of Madagascar on a big screen in the park. We tried to get there early and have a picnic while we camped out in a good spot, but turns out everyone else had the same idea and we were way in the back! It was still a great time.
On the 4th we went to the Landing and had lunch, went on a riverboat cruise, and then to the Kids Kampus where there were even MORE fountains for Mia to splash in. She played in the water for 2 hours and all the other parents said how brave she was for racing right into the middle of all the action every time!
That evening we scoped out a restaurant with patio seating for a good view of the fireworks show. Our persistence paid off because we had a great seat to see the whole thing. Mia was just mesmerized both nights. She would Ooooh and Aaaaah and try to reach for them and talk and if everyone else cheered or clapped then Mia would too! It was a couple of late nights for her, but she was on her best behavior and had a great time!
