Fireworks on the 4th of July

Ellie and Jessica (who is in Ms. Cook's classroom at ABC.)

Traditional Blueberry Tea Cake made every 4th of July with fresh blueberries!

We decided to get Ellie ready for the Fireworks at Disney by making sure we got to the Fireworks here in Charlottesville. They have a big display at MacIntyre Park. But after second thought, we decided the exiting could be a nightmare. So we had heard that lots of people gathered at Pantops in the parking lots ... and that's just wha we did. We brought chairs, a cooler and bubbles as we waited for the fireworks to start. Of course, Ellie found friends she knew right away! It was a great display, and the first time I've ever witnessed 6 different fireworks displays at different locations at the same time ... since we were to high up, we saw many other displays in the distance! And as the sun went down, there was a bit of a breeze and it was extremely comfortable to enjoy the show!
