Day four hundred twenty eight.

We celebrated Independence Day a bit early this year. We had a great time with family this weekend as we watched an up close fireworks show in Heber, AZ.


Unfortunately Addie was a bit worn out by the time the fireworks started. She stayed awake the whole time but became more amused with the fifty or so glow sticks than the actual show.

On the drive up, Adeline and Landon refused to comply with our carefully laid plans to have them sleep on the way to the cabin. So when we arrived Friday afternoon they were overtired and that, combined with the squelching heat at the cabin, inspired them to have a competition to see who could scream the loudest. We tried to get them to stop, but they refused to give up until one of them was crowned "Lord of the Scream". Allison and Amanda were bummed, because it's harder to tickle a baby when it's screaming. They still do it, it's just harder.
