Fourth of July started bright and early for us, as is the trend with Hudson and vacations. Trent LOVES the 4th of July. One of the things he loves about being in Omaha on the 4th, is that it is legal to shoot off fireworks. Now, being the overprotective mom that I am – I didn’t want him to get anything that could potentially go off and hurt one of the kids (tragically, that day a local girl back home was burned very badly as the result of a firework mishap). But, parachutes, smoke balls, and that sort of thing I was fine with. As long as Hudson stood very far back when they were being lit (total overprotective, helicopter mom here. I am not ashamed).
Anyway, we drove down to Ft. Calhoun that morning to buy the fireworks. Ft. Calhoun is this little town near Omaha. There used to be a fantastic ice cream place that Trent and his family went to growing up. It was one of my favorite places in Omaha. Sadly, it is gone. :( But, the firework stands remain!
My boys at the stand:
Blurry pic…but SO proud!
There is a very pretty little drive on the way back:
When we got back we took Harper’s 8 month picture:
Then Hudson wanted to love on his sister:
An attempt at a picture of Hudson and I (because I have maybe 2):
Harper and I fared a little better (meaning she smiled):
Hudson experiencing poppers:
And this fun streamer thingys:
Smoke balls…I love that he is trying to blow the smoke away. I am pretty sure that he said it was yucky:
Happy boy. Jodeen planned a barbecue for the whole family. Hudson was loving running around with his 2nd cousins (I think that is right. or maybe it is cousins once removed? I am not sure):
He decided to catch himself:
Twice…
Ending a fun day with (2) bowls of ice cream!
