and so it begins

Here's the start of a fun week/fourth in Michigan! As I described in an earlier post, on the 4th my family goes to a large outdoor celebration with the Detroit Symphony, fireworks and lots of great fun. Here's some snapshots from that night (a little out of order, by the time I figured it out I didn't feel like uploading the pictures again!) : ). Ava was a trooper being up until 11:00!!

I'd love to know what she was thinking here!

For the most part, Ava enjoyed the fireworks more than I thought she would. Although it was more like an "I'm not sure if I like this or hate this mom!" I'm glad to report it was a glorious and INJURY FREE fireworks display! : )
