Happy Fourth of July!

We celebrated Grace's first Fourth of July by going to the barbecue at the military base. It was nice. They had a lot of inflatable water slides for the kids, a magician, a dunk tank and even a small petting zoo. Grace loved the miniature horse. She also wanted to touch the two toe sloth really badly. We didn't let her since she is in the phase of sticking her fingers up noses and in eyes. That was the petting zoo's newest attraction.
We had to go home for a little while to let her take a nap. We got her up just in time to head back to the base to watch the fireworks. She didn't make it to the finale, and she fell asleep in the car. We'll try it again next year. At least she liked the pretty lights.
