4th of July

Our evening started out with dinner at Agave, which is an awesome Mexican restaurant. If my father likes it it must be good. After dinner, we went back to my parents' house and lit off a few of our own fireworks. I was a bit nervous. You see, growing up we never had fireworks because they were not allowed in the county I lived in...i used to watch the firework shows from the corral of horse, so this was a very new experience entirely for me. Ethan loved to watch Daddy light the fireworks and wait to see what they were going to do. Reid not so much (picture below to show the type of mood he was in by 8:45).

After our own fireworks, there were a few sparklers. Ethan enjoyed holding his and swinging it around and around. Uncle Potty enjoyed his sparkler too. He can always put a smile on my face.

After the sparklers, we hopped in our cars to see the fireworks at the Red Rock Hotel because the fireworks show at the Clubhouse was cancelled this year. However, we soon found out that it was going to be impossible to find parking or a place to view the show near the hotel. My father had a great idea to go back to the Clubhouse and watch the firework show there. We were a little afraid that we were not going to be able to see the show, but once the show started we new we had one of the best spots to view the show (the 6th hole to be exact). Ethan loved the show and Reid slept through most of the fireworks (it started at 9:30).
We had a great time at Red Rock ( minus the sleepless night for Jon & I) and can't wait to do it again next year!
