4th of July

Hooray for the 4th of July! I love this holiday. It's so fun to get to celebrate something outside in the nice weather. And since Erie does their celebration on the 3rd, we got two days of fun! A few weeks prior I asked Ryan what we were going to do this year since we have Maya now. He said, quite matter of fact, "We are going to go watch fireworks." So that is what we did.

We invited Dave and Ashley and their family to come watch them with us, and we were excited that they were able to make it! We got to the golf course where they were shooting off the fireworks around 7:45 PM and then hung out and talked for the next couple of hours. Maya fell asleep in her carrier around 9 PM so she missed the fireworks, but that was okay.

The show was great. We enjoyed everything about that evening. Except for driving home. We were at a stand-still trying to get out of the neighborhood for half an hour!

Maya is learning how to fly.
