Independence Day

I was a little homesick thinking about the 4th of July and how much I would miss the parade and Stadium of Fire, etc. in Provo. But as it turns out, we had a really entertaining 3rd and 4th and started what could be a few fun traditions. On the night of the 3rd we went out to a pavillion in The Woodlands and sat out on the lawn and listened to the Houston Symphony. They played a bunch of patriotic songs while we chased after Trevor out on the lawn.


For the 4th we went out to the Woodlands again, this time to the parking garage at Anadarko (Kevin hooked us up with the best seats in town!) for some fireworks. This fireworks show was evidence, once again, that they have to do everything bigger and better in Texas. I have seriously never seen so many fireworks go off at the same time as I did in the finale of that firework show. It was incredibly loud and so beautiful! Trevor actually watched the first 10 or so minutes of them in awe and seemed to enjoy it as long as I snuggled him in. He oohed and aahed a bit, then fell asleep amidst all the bangs and cheering. He didn't wake up once it was over, nor as we buckled him in/out of the carseat, then carried him to bed. I think we pretty much wore him out!






The kids waiting for the fireworks to start.




Ooooh!
