The Fourth of July this year came so quickly! We've been busy with the X-project and with packing up our place (for those who haven't heard, our house sold! and yes, we are still staying in Xenia). So, we decided to go all out and by that I mean keep our kids up for fireworks!! That to me felt like breaking the rules:) We hardly ever keep our kids up past bedtime....for lots of reasons but one is just to have somewhat of an evening still before our bedtime:)
Before the fireworks though, we hit the Beavercreek parade! I love parades! Mostly because of the bands, music, dancing....I know kind of weird! So...no bands, no music, no dancing...at this parade!!! Let's say we may not make this parade an annual one on our list. Although, Ava and Cooper LOVED it! Ava especially loved it from afar...she didn't want to get too close so she'd run behind our chairs in the grass and wave from where it was safe:) Coop ooohed and aaahed at every thing that came by....even the cars that carry people who are running for political offices:)
So, again, I'm not sure we'd make the Beavercreek fireworks an annual event either...let's just say we waited for an hour and got to see about 8 minutes of fireworks! But, in spite of that we really had lots of fun...we took bubbles for the kids to have fun with to help with the wait and loved hanging out with fun friends!
It was really worth it to break the rules when it comes to bedtime...the kids did great...I was worried they'd hate the loud noise but they again LOVED it! Afterwards, Ava did say, "Mommy, I didn't like the loud boom part." But during it, she did fine. Who knows, maybe we will break the rules a little more often this summer and have some more summer fun:)
