Fun Fourth

Jacob had a really great day for his first 4th of July. We spent the day at Dan's mom's house for a cookout and visited with his family. Jacob had a good time playing with his cousins. That night back in Bloomington, we ventured out to see the fireworks. We got to the park about an hour early and had a nice time playing on the blanket waiting for the fireworks to start. A nice family next to us gave Jacob one of those glow-in-the dark necklaces. He loved it! As soon as the fireworks started, Jacob was mesmerized by them. His eyes were locked on them for about 15 minutes before he lost interest. Although the loud noise didn't seem to bother him, we left before the finale. I think that he might have been okay, but listening to the finale on the way back to our car, I was thankful we left early because it was pretty loud. All-in-all, it was a nice day.
