Welcome to Emma Grace's Place! Now that our little girl's almost two (and at 3 feet tall, not so little any more), I thought I'd finally get a blog started. Even though I entitled this "4th of July", our Independence Day fun actually began on the 3rd when we attended our local fireworks display. We took a picnic to the park and let Emma play on the playground rather than try to sit through the lawn concert since she'd have lasted about 5 minutes! We finally set up camp with our camping chairs (Emma's included) at about 9:30, not knowing exactly when the show would start. After Emma danced around a while, caught a lightning bug, and threw her doll about 50 times (her new favorite pastime), the fireworks finally began...and she was mesmerized! After it was over, she pointed at the smoke and said "more fireworks!"
On the actual 4th, we missed the parade. Emma slept until 10 AM, apparently making up for last night. We did, however, go to a street fair, where Emma thoroughly enjoyed her favorite sport, people watching!
