Fireworks and Keeping Cool

Last night we went down to the riverfront to watch the city fireworks. They weren't too bad. Abbi has always had a bit of a fear of fireworks (she gets it honest), so she looked like this most of the time.

Notice that she has her baby blanket that she sleeps with and fingers in her ears to distract her from the noise. She wasn't the only one not fond of the noise.

Chloe was fine as long as Jamie had his hands over her ears. I can't say that I blame them! By the way, while we were waiting for the fireworks to start, Jamie had to be playing with his new phone. Now he thinks he is super cool with his new gadget.


Today we spent the afternoon playing out front. The kids have been enjoying the sidewalks around here to ride their bikes and skate. We also broke out the sidewalk chalk, which is almost a daily thing to do anymore. When we were finished playing, Jamie was cleaning the chalk off our drive and all of a sudden, he had company trying to keep cool. Chloe started the fun, but the others soon followed.
