4th of July 2016

Our July 4th celebration was so fun and relaxing!  We slept in and just took it easy during the morning.  Then Pearce and I went swimming at our neighborhood pool.....we've only been to our neighborhood pool one other time since we always go to the club pool.  It was really fun though because there were lots of people there.  Pearce is such a little fish and I honestly can't believe what a great swimmer he's become this summer.  He does not want to wear his floatie at all anymore.  He swims back and forth to me, around me, jumps in to me, and tries to dive down to get rings he likes to throw.  He still cant make himself go down by himself, so I just push him down and then he pushes himself off the floor to come back up.  So proud of his swimming!  In fact, just last week, I had the thought that he could probably save himself if he needed to....I don't want to feel too confident about it because I know things can change quickly and I will still always be with him while he's swimming, but, I feel pretty good about his ability to swim!  So, after swimming, we got cleaned up and then went to Milburn Park for the celebration they were having.   Next year, we will def go a little later because even though there were lots of bounce houses and rides, the lines were really long.  We waited for a big slide, but that was it.  Pearce and I got sno cones and then we just sat on our blanket with Daddy and played around there.  I got him some glow sticks and glow necklaces, so he had fun playing with those.  Once the fireworks started, Pearce loved them!  He had a glow want and kept pretending like he was making the fireworks go off :)  It was a really good show and lasted about 20 minutes!
