4th of July

And the fun continues....Tetyana got to experience America's "Happy Birthday". We tried to explain to her what we were going to do and what she would see. We went to a neighboring community where they close down their main street and have bounce houses, music, food and great fireworks!

After eating a yummy dinner at our favorite Colombian restaurant we made our way to the grass where we would watch the fireworks.

There was a fire truck and the firemen were allowing the kids to climb aboard and take pictures. Both kids thought it was so cool!

We all loved the fireworks and it was so awesome having them right over our heads. I think Tetyana said "wow, mommy" a thousand times!

On our way home there was tons of traffic, which we expected. We sat in the car for a few minutes waiting for it to thin out some. Once we got in it, things were moving pretty good but Drew missed the turn off for the freeway. We thought no problem, we will just go through Disney. BAD IDEA!! It took us 2 and half hours to get home when it should have taken us only 25 minutes! We were all so tired and the kids watched an entire movie. I think being so tired just made Drew and I giddy! We spent the entire time laughing our heads off. I think the kids thought we lost our minds! Despite the long night in traffic, Tetyana's first 4th of July was excellent!
