4th of July

We had a lot of fun this 4th of July. It was a warm (but not too hot) sunny day here in Atlanta, and we celebrated with some ward friends at Piedmont Park. We each brought something to contribute to the picnic, and had a lot of fun playing on the grassy hills of the park. There were water balloon games, water fights, baseball games and frisbee. Nate brought his remote control car, which was a big hit with the toddlers, and the little boys. It was nice and relaxing and fun. Owen just loves to be outside and to be around other little kids, so he was in little man heaven.
Later we moved our party to the Hansen’s house for some fireworks. I just realized this was the first time Owen had seen fireworks! He was mouth agape the entire time, occasionally covering his ears. Last 4th of July we were up in Eden, Utah at a family reunion and we missed out on fireworks. The year before that, we saw a spectacular show here in Atlanta, but Owen was still 9 weeks away. So here are a FEW (I’ve been terrible at remembering to take more photos lately) pictures of Owen’s FIRST 4th of July celebration! I forgot to bring my camera out at the Hansens, so sadly, no photos of fireworks or his reaction to them. A terrible oversight on my part....
