4th Of July Celebrations

We didn't do much on the actual holiday. I actually worked and then came home and relaxed with Levi and Wesley. The 4th was not so much for fun for us. We do not know how it is possible but for the last couple years somewhere semi close has a fireworks show. Nice huh? sit and watch from your very own porch? Yes, usually that would be nice. Not this group or function whatever it is... they shoot fireworks off until 2 am!!!! I am not talking about the little store bought ones or even the illegal ones... like the huge really big fireworks that make your heart thump! AHHH! Wesley kept waking up so scared, Levi and I couldn't sleep. Finally at like 12:30 we called the cops, they took forever so we told them to forget about. Finally around 2 am we fell asleep I am assuming the fireworks stopped right around then also. We can't figure it out. They were shooting fireworks off from 9pm- 2am with small breaks... what do they think they are doing?? How is this ok? I am getting worked up again and it is a week and half later.

The night before though we went and celebrated a good friends birthday by going to sushi and to a baseball game. We went to see the Rivercats, which is the minor league team down here. It was packed!!! We sat in the lawn area which was wonderful with Wesley. He wasn't confined to our laps and there was some room for him to move a little. Usually he would have freedom to roam but like I said it was packed. He actually enjoyed the game. The music and activities kept him interested. The crowd would do the wave, it would be long past and he was raise his arms and say "Oh!"... a little late but still adorable. We had a blast at the game it was so much fun. He even appeared on the jumbo tron (sp?) thanks to Daddy. At the end of the game they had a small fireworks show. Wesley could take it or leave it, he was so tired at this point he didn't care. He just relaxed on daddy. For being up so late past his bed time he did really really well. He made us pay the next few days for having such a late fun night!
