4th of July Fun!

This year we got to see LOTS of fireworks! I bought a pack for Drew to play with at home then we went to the huge gathering in El Dorado Hills! It allegedly had 25,000 people there. We met up with grandpa Frank and Judy and found a nice empty spot right behind Chili's and set up shop. Drew decided popcorn would be a good way to welcome the fireworks show later on.


This was us watching the show. Drew isn't a huge fan of the noise still (although LOVES the visual show), so he asked if I would cover his ears for him.


This was about 30 seconds in our car after the show.


The next day (on actual 4th of July), we headed to Judy's brother Kenny's house (my dad's girlfriend's brother...got it? haha). It was a surprise that Drew was able to come with us but his dad was right in the middle of moving so he asked if I would like to spend the holiday with Drew...uh DUH yes!! :) Everyone was so very happy to see him! Drew and I made a cake for the celebration too!


We were in Heaven with the food that was served! On the menu...giant BBQ turkey legs mmmmmmm


Grandpa Frank and Drew checking out all the fireworks for the evening!


Drew, being the only kid there, got to light most of the fireworks! He loved every second of it!
