Happy 4th of July

Gramy found a light up stick for you to play with for the 4th of July, little did Mommy and Daddy know that it would be your favorite toy. You wouldn't let go of the stick or go anywhere without it for quite some time. You still play with it to this day but the lights work whenever they decide to work now. You had a play date for the 4th of July at the beach. But before you headed out to the beach Daddy wanted to stop by Grandpop's house to wish him a Happy 4th of July. You enjoy Grandpop's company and love all the crazy sounds he makes to make you laugh!
After visiting Grandpop for a bit Mommy and Daddy headed out to the beach to meet up with some friends to celebrate. This was your first time at the beach a were a little unsure of the water making so much noise and the sand that you later decided was cool to eat!

Once Mommy and Daddy found our friends out at the CROWDED beach everyone had a great time! You and Lola had fun playing in the sand (and eating the sand). Lola let you borrow her cool star sunglasses so you were nice enough to let her play with your glow stick!
After Lola's daddy cooked some hamburgers on the grill it was time to relax for a while and enjoy the sunset on the beach before the fireworks started. Mommy took you out to let you see the water for the first time and it absolutely scared you.
Mommy was worried about your reaction of the fireworks becasue somethings that are loud really startle you. However, once the fireworks started shooting off of the Lexington you didn't even notice but once Mommy pointed them out to you they had your attention for the whole show!
