4th of July

We had a low key 4th of July this year and that was perfect.  We had our friends, the Lewis', over for a backyard BBQ/picnic.  Henry did great with Gabriel and Gabriel learned he liked Henry's toys(cars & trains).  Overall it was a great time to catch up with our friends.

In true 4th of July fashion, we had to find a firework show.  I love to see as many fireworks as possible for the 4th of July.  This year we decided to check out the local fireworks, instead of going downtown.  We found a spot off the Rock Road and pulled out our blankets.  The spot we picked was perfect.  We were able to see Bridgeton, Hazelwood and then St. Charles fireworks.  Gabriel fell asleep before they started and didn't even flinch with the big booms from the St. Charles ones (they were the closest to us).  He did wake up with the motorcycles flying by after the show, but was quickly back to sleep once he was home.

It was a great 4th of July, couldn't of asked for a better one.
