I know we're a day early, but we celebrated "July 4th" today! Reid's parents & Gram came down for lunch this afternoon....we enjoyed ourselves some good southern bbq pulled pork sandwiches....complete with the cole slaw on top. :) Along with the usual grilled corn on the cob, fruit, deviled eggs, homemade ice cream, and homemade peach cobbler....too bad you couldn't join us!! :)
After Caeden's nap, we went outside to shoot some mild fireworks. But Caeden definitely did not consider them mild....He even cried at the smoke bombs the first time he saw them. :)
There is a funny video below of he and I throwing some snappers. He actually watched me and caught on pretty quick. But when he decided to give it a shot, he cried when it hit the ground and snapped. There are two separate videos, but they go together, so watch the first one, then the second one.
Anything that made anything close to a pop or boom made him cry...Reid is hoping he grows out of it soon because he needs a buddy to help him shoot bottle rockets and other loud "toys." By the end, Caeden's favorite things to watch were the smoke bombs and the snakes (which he liked to step on and try to pick up).
I remember last summer when I was 9 mos pregnant at this time, we went to the Bentonville fireworks show and Caeden was rolling and punching in my stomach the entire time. I remember saying to Reid, "At least we know he has good hearing..." And here we are a year later, with him shooting off fireworks with us....crazy! It was a fun day and we're looking forward to the many more "fourths" we get to spend with him!
