Another HOT 4th of July, but we survived!!! We started off with a breakfast with the 3 wards in our building. Later that night, we went up to my parents house and had a BBQ and let the kids do sparklers and Pop-It's that were left over from last year (we would have gotte
n more......but McKenzie HATES loud noises and we didn't know if Brayden would really care.....so we just decided to call it good with what we had from last year). We decided not to wait til it was dark since both our kids were very tired.....so we started doing fireworks at like 6:45. McKenzie had been so excited all week for the sparklers, but as soon as we lit one up, she started freaking out. So then we pull out the Pop-It's and start doing those, and then she starts freaking out because they are "too loud". Brayden loved putting them on the ground and then stepping on them! It was cute watching him do a little dance on them trying to pop them. As soon as some neighbor girls saw the fireworks, they came running and did most of our sparklers, but luckily McKenzie decided they were okay and tried them and really had a ball....I just wish it happened a little sooner since they were practically gone by the time she wanted to try them. I think she got to do like 4 of them....so I guess that is better than nothing. She even got over the noise of the pop-its and had fun doing those as well. So after that, we has ice cream and came home, put the kids to bed and we enjoyed a nice quiet night finishing the second season of "24". Last nigh
t Scott and I decided to try something new as well........we took McKenzie to see Wall-E.....(the movie). This was the first time she has gone to a theater and we were curious to see how well she would do.......since she doesn't necessarily have the biggest attention span for movies and TV. But, we enjoyed it and she did better than I thought she would do! She has been telling everyone about the Robot movie all day and was so excited to go to something with mom and dad and not Brayden, because he was too little. She felt like such a big girl!! We had a lot of fun with her and enjoyed the time together!!
