4th of July festivities

Nico went crazy over sparklers this year! He wanted to do them every night!

For the 4th of July, my mom and I took Nico to the Dripping Springs Fourth of July Festival! It was really fun (a lot better than expected) with plenty of activities for kids! Nico had a blast and we had a blast watching him do so. There was a petting zoo, horse ride, train ride, bounce houses, laser tag, food trailers, etc. My dad and David were at a concert that night and missed the excitement.

He sure looooves animals.

He may have gone through this bounce house 37 times. We eventually had to force him to move on!

Here he is jokingly pretending to eat the way the hot dog eating contest people eat, since we let him watch that earlier today! Funny kid.

I think Nico's highlight was his first ever game of laser tag. He was obsessed. After showing up how to do it and the importance of hiding to avoid getting hit, he was a pro!! My mom and I were cracking up at him sneaking up on people and acting like he knew exactly what he was doing.

Pumped about his snowcone. Half wedding cake and half margarita. He likely only picked that kind so he could feel cool saying he was drinking a margarita.

Campin out for fireworks tonight over hill country.

 

It was a great fireworks show! Nico did have me keep his ears covered most of the time. He STILL is traumatized from the loudness of the neighborhood ones that we did a few years ago! Oh well! Awesome night.
