Come along with the Castros: ...to celebrate Independence Day!!

We had such a good time watching fireworks at a hotel/golf course about 5 minutes from our house. The fireworks started at 9pm so we weren't quite sure how it would go with 2 sleepy boys. It really couldn't have gone any better. Both boys were so well behaved and enjoyed the whole event. There was a live band playing some familiar music while waiting for it to get dark which we made sure to sing to. I love that Maddox isn't shy about singing out loud for all to hear. He really does enjoy music and dancing. He then walked with papa to check out all of the food trucks and came back with a tasty frozen fruit bar. Landon and I had stayed behind saving our spot on the grass. Then there was some cheap entertainment from a water bottle, Landon's car seat, and of course more snacks! The show lasted about 15 minutes and was awesome from start to finish. I love how Maddox asked me if there was balloons popping. I guess that was the only thing he could relate the loud bang of the fireworks to. We didn't hit too much traffic leaving and thus both boys managed to stay awake for the car ride home. We had bought some sparklers and decided to end the evening lighting some up on our patio. Maddox was scared at first but got over that quickly. Landon was drawn to the light like most babies I'm sure would be. We all had a great night! Hope you all enjoyed your Independence Day!
