Happy Birthday to America!

So i tried to do something "american" for the 4th of july....we were going to go to a parade but after dropping my dad off at the airport we didnt feel like fighting any traffic...and it was nap time. So later in the afternoon we packed up the baby and went to Amelia Earhart Park for hte latin music and food thingy. After $10 to park we got out and walked aroung for about 10 minutes before we decided it wasnt any fun and weleft. Definately not $10 worth of fun for sure. Oh well. We then headed over to Milander Park in Hialeah where they were having a big freestyle concert before the fireworks at 9pm. We thought we'd try it out, it was free and parking was free...except it was on street parking, no fun. But we got their early and actually got a decent space. So we put the baby in the stroller and headed to thepark. It was extremely family friendly (not always the case at the later events) and actually really fun. they played fabulous music and E ended up walking back to the car to get out camping chairs so we could sit in the field and hang out, although we forgot the blanket so the baby could sit on the ground. We gpt there around 6 and were hoping for the best with the baby as his bedtime is 7 and he doesnt do so well off of his schedule. Around 7 tghe clouds started rolling in....and by rolling in i mean it went from bright and sunny to dark and grey...maybe we would be spared the rain??? A few drops fell but we had our big umbrella so we put the baby inthe srtoller and held it over him. And then the warning sirens went off signalling lightning. If you've never heard the lighting siren they have at the parks it is a deafening sound that pierces the ears, and we were sitting rigth next to it. So they came over the mic and told everyone to get out of the park and go sit int heir cars, if it clears up in the next half hour they';ll continue. (meaning if we heard 3 short blows of the siren). yeah, like we were going to sit in the car for a half hour with a cranky baby. So we decided we were just going to go home. oh well. I'm pretty sure they cancelled it all togther as while we were walking to the car there were several large lightnings rather close to us.

So we went home and watched a movie with our friends Abe and Daniella. And it probably worked out for the best, it was relaxing and the baby got to go to bed! Here he is in his 4th of July outfit.
