One of my favorite holidays is July 4th! I love the excitement and the "summer feel" that it has. We took full advantage of the day. I tried explaining the meaning of the 4th of July to Blake. I went with the approach that it was America's birthday. Not sure that worked because Blake quickly corrected me that there was no birthday party and gifts and cake. Hmm.. maybe he had a point?! In my parenting I am in the phase where I am sometimes struggling how to connect the communication gap between adult and 5 year old. HAHA!
So, we just decided to move past the history lesson and have some fun! We did marble painting to look like fireworks. Blake had a lot of fun with the paint. I think art class might be one of his favorite specials in Kindergarten.
We also had pizza and watched the Rolesville fireworks with my dad. It is starting to be somewhat of a tradition for us. I love it! Blake really enjoyed the sparklers and little pop it's. He also liked looking at the fireworks but wasn't too thrilled about the sound. He has never been a fan of loud noises.
Finally... not really 4th of July related, but we are still loving our "normal" moments of Summer fun! We are enjoying our pool days with friends and we are even going to see the new Despicable Me 3 movie today! Yay, Summer. Forever grateful for this time to relax and recharge.
