First 4th of July

Aubrey's first 4th of July started on July 3rd. Mooresville has their family celebration with fireworks on th3 3rd. We had a picnic dinner and then watched the fireworks. We weren't sure how Aubrey would handle the loud noises of the fireworks, but she was fascinated.



For July 4th, we went swimming at Todd's parents' neighbor's pool. We tried to find a floaty for Aubrey to swim in, but Target was all out, so we just held her in the pool. She loved kicking her legs and splashing us in the face with the water. So, I am going to start looking for a swim class for her so we can spend some more time in the pool.

After swimming, we had some grilled steaks and homemade ice cream, which Aubrey seemed pretty jealous of. She decided to pass out before it got dark, so she didn't get to see the sparklers we bought. But, it was amazing that a bunch of 20-year olds (ok, and 1 30-year old) can be so easily entertained by sparklers. It was a pretty chill 4th, but exactly what we needed after the last few stressful months.
