We started off the holiday celebrations on the 3rd of July with a trip to the ballpark. After all, what is more American than baseball? It was a first for our kids and let me tell you--they absolutely loved the experience! We cheered on the home town minor league team of the West Michigan Whitecaps. It was a high scoring game with lots of action and even though our team lost 8-9, it was a great game.
Rally cap time!
The kids were enthusiastic to say the least in their cheering. We adults might have been more entertained by watching them than the game. Heads kept turning around to see who was screaming. They were highlighted on the big screen, but of course I was in the bathroom when they got on camera so don't have the proof of their fame.
We stayed after the game for the fireworks show, again another highlight for the kids.
The morning of the 4th, Samuel woke up with a fever and nausea (the same virus Luca had 2 days prior). Therefore, our day was really low key. Emma baked and decorated cupcakes and a cake, then she, Gramma and I went to a craft show in the afternoon. Hamburgers on the grill were amazing and then we ended our day with fireworks in the driveway.
The kids were each given $5 from Munga and Gramma to buy fireworks at the dollar store. It actually wasn't too bad of a show...not as dramatic as our next door neighbors, but why pay the big bucks when you can just watch theirs!
Happy Birthday, USA!
