An Awesome 4th!

We had the best holiday! We started the day at a birthday party. Sam played fishing and never put his pole down the whole party. Scott will hopefully get to take the boys or at least Sam fishing for real fish some time soon. It isn't Scott's favorite thing, but Sam may end up loving it.
Davis sat in the pool of fake fish and made that little fish sound while he chewed on a few of them.
After the party we went home and napped, only to wake up in time to leave again. We had chicken at Zaxby's. I splurged on the Zalad I always want, but never get, and it was DELICIOUS.

Then we went to see WALL-E which was the boys first movie. Unless you count Narnia that Sam saw about 20 min. of at 9 months. Anyway, we were blown away by the fact that we didn't have to leave the movie one time for potty time or crying babies. The both LOVED it and Davis just ate his snack in Scott's lap when he started getting restless.

This is outside of the movie in the arcade. No need for change yet, just sitting there is enough to make them happy.



At the beginning of the movie, Sam would say "IT's really dark, it's a wittle bit dark, oooo momma it's dark in here;" along with a giggle of excitement between previews. Davis just said "wow" and "uh oh" about a hundred times during the movie and looked at us and back at the screen with his big brown eyes :) They both got excited when the rocket ship took off.


The movie itself wasn't what I had expected it to be at all! I was a little bit disgusted in parts, but I guess it had a good message, in a weird way.

After the movie we got ice cream, it was Sam's first cone!

Scott had bought about $10 worth of fireworks, b/c he wasn't really sure how much the kids would be into them. We have decided that we need to get some of the real stuff next year. The bottle rockets weren't going over to well, but the snake ones were a huge hit. They were pretty cheesy, but both of the boys loved them. Sam was jumping and Davis was going SSSSSSSS. The best part was touching the snake (which were pretty much ashes) and stomping on what was left on the ground. Sam cracked me up when Scott picked it up for him to touch it, he jerked back as he touched it as if it was going to bite him :) I guess it was that real to him. When we got finished with our $10 worth of excitement, we drove around the neighborhood with the windows down and enjoyed eveybody elses fireworks and the wind on our faces. Davis was in my lap up front and Sam was "in the back" which is so special to him. It was a fun day full of memories!
