Happy 4th of July!

To celebrate the 4th we attended a neighborhood parade (Ethan loved collecting the candy and beads), played at the mall playground, rode the carousel, grilled burgers and hot dogs, and then, after bath, we trekked it up to the upper deck of Amon Carter Stadium to watch some fireworks. We had watched some on tv earlier, and Ethan was excited. We could see some very far away and he enjoyed pointing them out. However, then the show from the Colonial Country Club started--which is very nearby, and Ethan got to hear the fireworks and not just see them. See for yourself:

So, the noise was not for him. He just muttered "I want to go home" into my chest and wouldn't look up. Once we got in the car and the sound was more muffled he liked them better, but still wanted to go home. Guess we'll give that another year or two. This probably doesn't bode well for the Frog Horn at football games this year. :-(
