Every year our town hosts a fest at the large park just down the street from us. They have rides, entertainment, vendors, and TONS of food to try! It was exciting for us to take Shannon there this year for the first time - it was definitely quite different from the pervious 7 years we attended as a couple. Pushing the stroller, taking turns getting food, and balancing it all challenged our first time parenting skills, but we did OK! Shannon loves looking and listening to people. She was taking it all in and even fell asleep with the off key karaoke people performing on the main stage.
Of course Shannon had on her 4th of July outfit.... red shorts with a white onesie that said "Little Firecracker" on it. She actually ended up with 3 outfits for the day. I had purchased a 2nd long sleeve one piece outfit in case it was chilly. Then Grandma Marilyn bought a sundress one piece as well. The way I see it, it's a patriotic month, so she will have plenty of opportunities to wear them!
When we came back home we played outside and watched all the people walking by. Shannon was in the best mood (maybe because she took 2 GREAT naps today!) and was literally laughing out loud.
She is in bed and hopefully will stay asleep when the huge fireworks show starts later this evening....

My goodness, little princess is growing rapidly!! She looks sooo happy!! I was actually thinking of her on the 4th, wondering, "what little cute outfit she is wearing today".. Time is flying so fast... With all of lifes challenges, its wonderful to be brought back to remembering what life is all about. To see a sweet smile, makes everything all right in the world.
