4th of July

 After about a week of excitement building up to the big day, the 4th of July finally arrived.  We had set off a couple fireworks each night since about the first of July...so Henry was all set and ready to go when the 4th finally arrived.


We had a BBQ at Uncle Scott's house and did our fireworks there before it even got dark out! Here's Henry having a sparkler lightsaber battle with Daniel. Clearly, as the next picture shows, he was quite excited for the fireworks.

 Then we went downtown to see the fireworks which Henry was once again very excited to see. Last year he wasn't that impressed by fireworks in general and there's no way he would have enjoyed the downtown ones because of how loud they are...but this year he definitely loved them.  We watched them from the east side of the river, which was cool because we had the backdrop of downtown behind them.

And, finally, the hot weather has arrived! Here is Henry at Jamison Square in the Pearl yesterday. He's doing what has become his signature move...
