We moved to Walla Walla just a few days before the 4th of July so most of our day was spent unpacking the last of our things.  We did make it out to see the fireworks.  We were so confused at first trying to figure out where they were.  We had gone to the place we heard they were going to be a few hours ahead of time (thinking of IF fireworks) and NO ONE was there!  So we drove around for awhile and finally some people started showing up.  We still had to wait awhile for the fireworks but Declan loved running around in the grass so it was fun!

 {When we did finally park, we ran into a couple that had just moved into our ward also so we sat with them.  This is their daughter, Svea, with Declan.}

 {Last year, Declan just sat in my lap the entire time and was mesmerized by the fireworks!  This year, he was a little hesitant....he had his fingers far enough apart that he could see them but his hands stayed over his eyes the entire show!}

The whole way home from the fireworks Declan wouldn't stop talking about them and clapping for them.  He's a funny kid.  Actually he was quite obsessed with talking about fireworks for a couple weeks after the 4th!
