Pioneer Day

The 24th of July was a fun day for us.  Like I said in my earlier post, we stopped by Amy and Esteban's to visit for a few minutes and then headed off to mom's house for a bbq and fireworks.  Dylan was not in love with the idea of sparklers this year.  He was content to watch everyone else do them.  He didn't mind the other fireworks though and loved helping choose which one we would light next.  Preston was too brave, as usual, and wanted to go pick up the fireworks.  Yikes!  He did not like being held back either.  We tried having him jump with grandma, setting him in the airplane bike, giving him a fountain drink (he loves holding his own drink with a straw) and finally settled on the stroller.  For some reason the carseat and stroller are okay with him.  He understands that he's stuck there and sits quietly most of the time.  Preston loved watching the fireworks.  He was completely captivated with the bright lights and noises so once he was safe in his stroller seatbelt, we were good to go.  It was a long night though and everyone was exhausted by the end.  

Happy little Dylan
