This weekend was our first time celebrating the 4th of July as a family. :-) We were a little hesitant to take Ben to fireworks, not sure how he would react to the loud sounds and popping. We went to Altoona fireworks at Prairie Meadows and they were amazing. Ben was in awe and amazed at the colors and was content the whole time with Daddy. We watched fireworks with Grandpa Rick and Grandma Kathy, as well as Aunt Kari. And 4th of July wouldn't be complete without grilling so we enjoyed that as a family too!
We also got a chance during the day to check out the new riverwalk bridge in downtown Des Moines, both during the day and night. The 3 of us took a walk over it (with the rapid river of floodwaters below us---eek!) and it was very cool. Then, after fireworks, we decided to check it out again to see it all lit up. Hopefully we will take many more walks there when Ben is older.
You have a blog! How fun!! I hope you put lots of pics of your little guy on here!
