The boys really got their money's worth at the bouncy toys at Brooklyn's 4th of July celebration. We hit the parade and picnic at Uncle Len's and Aunt Wendy's earlier in the evening and bounced until the fireworks started to explode. We were so impressed with the ever so adventurous boys who dared to climb the shark slide. Tyler even gave it a shot. "That was fun!" he said.
The fireworks were really nice and our little firework lover, Ryan is starting to show a little fear of the noise. Tyler sat with his eyes closed and eventually fell asleep while I covered his ears. When the booms stopped, he got a second wind and none of us went to bed until midnight.
It's not easy to get everyone in the family to agree, but one thing is for sure. Our family loves a good baseball game. The boys were definately into the game and cheered them on like troopers while the littler ones walked around with the moms getting hot dogs, drinks, and playing on jumpy things. We even saw some special visitors and got autographs from Blue and Big Lug. Good Times. After the game, the kids ran the bases. Ryan and Brendan were too quick and I missed a good shot. I got a good one of Tyler who was so proud of himself and his accomplishment! (I'm so proud b/c Tyler made it through the day in undies with no accidents.)
