July 4th

I love the 4th of July. It is the definition of summer. Warm weather, BBQ's, fireworks, staying up late, summer evenings, music, festivals..my list could go on and on. Did I mention the warm weather. AWWWWW.
I am starting to feel like a broken record but I can't tell you how much I love the warm..hot temps.
This year we went to the Thanksgiving point fireworks. We did the same last year but didnt go to the main park area. Not knowing that they have music, food and all kinds of festivities. Now we know and will be doing this as our annual 4th celebration for as long as we are living here (2 more years)...LOL!
Max loved the fireworks.

And of course he had to have a glow stick. I wonder what happened to that thing?
Jack also enjoyed the lights and actually didnt mind the loud popping noises the fireworks made.
He watched quite intensely at the bright flashes.
The music was great. It reminded me of when my family used to go to see the fireworks in Dallas. I can't remember the name of the area but I remember the horses (statues), food and orchestra.
Memories...I miss those days, I had such a great life growing up.


During the firework display they played all American themed songs. Onc "was coming to America" by Neil Diamond. I am such a sap but I started to cry. Neil Diamond reminds me of my dad so much...it is just one of those things. I miss him so much and cant wait to see him again and hopefully live closer soon.
