We went down to Memorial Park last night, like we do every year, to enjoy the orchestra and fireworks for the holiday. It was a lovely show and Anna was absolutely enthralled by it all, running, jumping and shrieking with joy the whole time. Silvia was a little less thrilled. As soon as the fireworks started, she went over to the stroller and started patting her seat. Kurt popped her and gave her a blanket and then she started waving and saying, "Bye-bye! All done! Bye-Bye!". That kid was ready to go! She toughed it out for the rest of the show and didn't seem to really mind all the noise, but it wasn't exactly her favorite thing, either.
On a side note, as we were walking back to the car, Kurt realized his phone had fallen off at some point in the huge field full of thousands of people. We pretty much gave it up for lost, which was disappointing since it was his fancy birthday present phone from only a few months ago. On a last ditch effort, he got up early and went back to the park to take a look. He got there to find a handful of men searching the field with metal detectors for lost change and whatnot. He asked the guy closest to where we were sitting if he'd found a phone and he handed it over! That was a nice surprise to start the day right and give us a little hope, too, for an honest humanity.
Here's some pictures from our family night.
