Happy Fourth of July! For Cami's first Independence Day, we just had a laidback cookout at our place. My folks came over and brought ribs and a giant American Flag cookie decorated with blueberries and raspberries. We also grilled brats and made a potato salad. It was a very nice day. We didn’t go out to see fireworks because that would have been well past the girls bedtime and they had already had a long day. However, Mady was excited about fireworks, so I agreed to wake her up when it got dark and take her up to the clock tower in our building so we could see some fireworks from there. Waking her up was much easier said than done. In fact, I couldn’t wake her. She was in a very deep state of sleep. I went ahead and carried her, sleeping, up five flights of stairs to the clock tower and gradually roused her. From where we were, we could actually see five different fireworks shows, but most of them were off in the distance. More impressive was the lightening show. God put on a much more exciting pyrotechnic show that evening. The combination of lightening and fireworks was pretty cool to witness. Mady was pretty annoyed about being woken up, so I eventually just took her back to bed and Carrie and my mom enjoyed the show. The next morning, Mady was actually pretty excited about the fireworks, so I guess it was worth it. We’ll see how she does next year!
