Can you believe that although Priya is almost four years old, she had not ever had the joy of witnessing a 4th of July fireworks display? This was the year that all of that finally changed! We didn't worry about late bedtimes or concerns about meltdowns, tantrums, etc. We were going to make this happen! We showed Priya youtube clips of fireworks and shared with her the simplified story behind the 4th of July. She was giddy with excitement when we pulled up to our vantage point with Ami and Phil about 2 hours before the show began. We played, talked, walked around and enjoyed each other's company until 10pm finally rolled around and the fireworks began to light up the sky.
Josiah fell asleep in his carseat before the show began so his real first experience will have to come at a later date, but he sure did well out there despite the heat and without the comfort of his crib. But Priya loved every minute of it and has continued to talk about it for days afterwards.
