Let Freedom Ring

The weather was making it hard to make any firm plans for getting to see fireworks... but Southlake had their fireworks display on the 3rd and we made a last minute decision to go because the storms had passed for the time being.


I love fireworks! This year Mason didn't appreciate the noise, I guess it goes along with him being scared of Thunder.

I let them each get a toy from a vendor there. Mason picked a lit up spinner toy. I picked out a dolphin on a stick that lit up for Maya. The sparkly things came out of the back of the dolphin. Since we had just been at Sea World a few days before she saw dolphins in action, and I thought she would like it. She immediately named the toy "the dolphin spit out thing." I guess she remembered the hole on the dolphin that they blow air out and sometimes water or "spit" as she saw it. For days after, she referred to the toy as "the dolphin spit out thing!" I love it.
