Oh, What A Gloriuos Fourth!

The 4th of July was great. We had a very peaceful day and then went to Conner Prairie for the Symphony on the Prairie and fireworks. It was a great evening to be outside, it was in the lower 70s and overcast. The last couple of years have been extremely hot.

We decided to stop at Culver’s for fried chicken and hamburgers. We packed soda, water, beer, and wine coolers in the cooler. We got everything situated and ate dinner. Jonah, of course, had no interest in eating and wanted to run around. Which was fine until he fell on some guy’s head laying on a blanket in front of us. He did was able to entertain himself until it the symphony started. He would open the cooler, take out an ice cube, lick it or drop it on the ground, then put the ice cube back in the cooler and closed the lids. This went on for about 10-15 mins. He then decided everyone needed a drink refill and passed out drinks to everyone. I think he gave Josh the same sprite like 10 times, he was sure that Josh needed that sprite (even though it was Julie’s).

Josh took Jonah down to see the canons which he just loved. I was surprised that he was not scared by them. His grandpa would be so proud of him. They spent a good 30 mins visiting with the guardsmen and came back to tell me all about it.

During intermission, a lady behind us came over to tell me how adorable the boys were and that you definitely knew Jonah was Josh’s. She loved that Aiden was wide awake and taking everything in.

The fireworks were great and last about 15 mins. There were some new fireworks that I have never seen before. They cascaded down and looked like waterfalls, it was just beautiful.
