One float threw Matchbox cars...Henry was thrilled!

Watching the fireworks.
(For some reason, blogger isn't letting me type anything in the "title" box) We had so much fun celebrating the 4th of July with Henry this year. He was feeling very patriotic as you can tell from the first picture with the glasses! In the morning we took him to a parade in a town near us. We actually found out about it last year on the 4th and decided to take him again this year. It was the perfect parade for Henry. There were tons of tractors (!) and one float threw Matchbox cars to the children. He didn't think much of the candy from other floats, but he was thrilled when a car landed in front of him.
Then we decided to watch the fireworks at a country club near our house. Our friends Brandon, Emily and Charlie and our neighbors with a boy a few months younger than Henry joined us. We walked to the park and pushed the boys in their strollers. It worked out perfectly because the boys were able to play on the playground for a while until the fireworks were about to start and then we went across the street to the country club and sat on the fairway to watch the fireworks. It was the perfect setting...it wasn't crowded or crazy with people...we just spread out blankets and had a great view. These were Henry's first fireworks and he actually liked them! The first few scared him, he kept saying "no, no" and was shaking a little bit (very sad). But as he got used to them he was pretty mesmerized. When they were done he kept asking for "more boom boom."
