we had a nice long 3-day holiday weekend. it was full of bbq's, house projects, yard work, a massage for me, bike ride, friends and lots of lounging.
we spent the evening of the 4th at kyle and kari's house, along with a few other friends. all of the food was amazing and i think all of us completely stuffed ourselves. we just kept eating and eating and eating. well, especially me since drinking was not an option :)
we did lots of our own fireworks then watched the downtown fireworks on the front lawn. riley managed to stay up until 9:30 or so then practically begged to go bed- something that never happens. i think the intensity of all the fireworks did her in. i was very proud of her though- she is very sensitive to loud noises and was so brave and pretty fascinated by all the fireworks. i did spend several days leading up to the 4th prepping her for the loud noises and talking about fireworks. it seemed to really pay off.
i found riley & annika in kari's raspberry bush
riley, annika & bjorn with the sparklers
i taught riley to cover her ears around loud noises - she takes this job very seriously
kyle with our 2 huge boxes of fireworks
watching the fireworks in the street
riley is very serious about holding her sparkler
and this about sums up our night: complete & total indulgence
thanks for the fun party kyle & kari!
