We had a nice, relaxing day off yesterday for the 4th. Jeff worked on (and finished up) a project in the shop in the morning. I did a little crafting (and cleaning). Deacon played and napped, as always. :) And then we went to a party in downtown Wilmington to watch the fireworks.
We were right on the water (the river) to watch the fireworks later on, but before that we hung out with lots of friends, the kids played, we ate gobs of yummy food and got a few games of volleyball going. It was a good time, despite the ridiculous heat.
The fireworks were good; we were kind of curious about how Deacon would react since he was only 8 months old for his 1st fireworks display. He did okay, but was kind of fidgety. And it was late and he had played hard so he was tired, too. Thankfully, the fireworks didn't last longer than 20 min or so.
I took my camera but didn't get the first photo taken. Deacon is just so busy, and being in a place with lots of stairs (decks) to climb, piers to wander out on (read: edges to fall over), I didn't have time to grab my camera, let alone carry it around with me.
I did snag this photo of him yesterday morning while we were playing, and even though it's kind of blurry in parts, I kinda like how it turned out:
[20 months]
