4th of July at Nana and Papa's

4th of July was a fun filled day from dawn till dusk. The day started with a parade downtown, then Jeremy and Uncle Derek took the big kids out on the boat, and then Uncle Derek brought out the fireworks for the older kids to enjoy...He had a bunch of sparklers which the girls loved, and I think Will liked watching them but he would not go near them. I thought he would hold one like the other big kids, but he was not moving out of his chair. Granted, the poor kid was completely exhausted, he'd been playing hard for a few days, had a huge day on the 4th and skipped nap to go on the boat. So he kind of looked like a zombie watching the fireworks. He liked the sparklers but then Derek got some small ones out that made a little noise and a few pops. Will was okay with that for a bit and then all of a sudden, he jumped out of his seat, ran up the steps and inside the house. We all just kind of looked at each other like, "what the heck is he doing?" I followed him inside and found him crying and saying, "I'm all done, I don't want the fireworks anymore." It was so sad but so sweet at the same time, the poor boy was just so tired. We had a wonderful day though! Enjoy all the pics, there are so many good ones!!
