John and I got home from the hotel around 2 on the 4th of July so the kids pretty much went right down for naps. After naps our celebration began. We headed over to Jon and Amanda's for a bbq. After the kids ate dinner and played for a while I put Michael to bed there in a pack and play and Amanda got Alex into bed. The guys stayed home with them while Amanda and I took Lauren and Nathan to South County Regional Park for the fireworks. The kids loved that they were at the park at bedtime.

At around 8:45 we settled down in the grass to wait for the fireworks to start at 9:00. Lauren laid down on my lap and fell asleep while we were waiting. It was only a 10 minute nap but I was surprised she fell asleep at all. I guess that's because she is on such a regimented schedule, this was the latest she has ever been up.

At 9:00 the fireworks began, the noise scared Lauren. She quickly put her head down on me, cuddled up and went back to sleep. She never even saw one firework. I have to say I would rather her get scared and go to sleep then scream and cry like some of the kids there did.
