4th of July Weekend

This year we headed out to the drive-in movie theater about 30 minutes outside Chattanooga to watch Cars 2 and see fireworks for the 4th of July.  We figured Amelia would enjoy all the festivities and would hopefully fall asleep when the movie started around 10pm. 




It was pretty hot but that didn't seem to stop Amelia from going non-stop.  She wanted to walk, wanted to climb in and out of her chair, wanted to eat snacks and drink her special straw sippy cup, she pretty much didn't stop moving!







Amelia LOVED the fireworks!  She sat with Momma part of the time and with Daddy the rest of the time.  She would clap after the ones that made loud crackling noises. 

Hard part- after the fireworks the movie started and she was ready to lay in her pack-n-play.  But she didn't go to sleep for awhile- she just rolled around and kept standing up and throwing her paci into the darkness.  Finally after I held her and she had to be still- she gave up and passed out around 11:00!

The next day we had bought some fireworks to do in our driveway but no matter how hard we tried to keep Amelia awake- she wanted to go to bed.  So Dan and I enjoyed shooting fireworks off in our driveway while Amelia slept peacefully and soundly!
