Happy 4th of July!

We had a really fun, busy 4th of July weekend! It started with the Downtown McKinney parade on Saturday. We walked around and people watched, saw the parade (Nico loved all of the classic 40's and 50's cars that would rev their engines and also the horsies.) Then we grabbed a bite to eat on the square at Churchill's.

 

After naptime, Dave and Cindy came over to hang out in the backyard, treat us to Matt's Rancho Martinez for dinner, and watch fireworks just down the street at Craig Ranch.

Fireworks time.

While waiting for the fireworks show, Nico was determined to join in with some guys nearby and throw the football around too. Such a little jock.

The fireworks experience was a little disappointing. We thought they would begin around 9, and they actually didn't get started until 9:45! Needless to say, it was wayyyy past Nico's bedtime. Probably not the best idea to try to keep him awake, but we had been talking about it with him all day and figured it was a special occasion. He actually stayed awake right up until they began, and then he got a little scared and decided to sleep in the car. Poor guy. Maybe next year.

 



 

 

Here's the cute decoration he made at Misty's! Love this!
