We went to Kingwood to watch fireworks and hangout with Melanie's family over the 4th of July weekend. We went swimming, BBQ'd, and then went to see some fireworks. Kelsie was very excited about going to see the fireworks, but as soon as we got there she said they were going to be too loud and plugged her ears. She kept them plugged for an hour straight from the time we got to the spot to watch the fireworks until about 5-10 minutes into the show. She apparently remembered that they were loud from last year. Uncle Grant's truck was near where we were sitting, so grandpa sat in the truck with her for a good portion of the time and that seemed to make her feel safer. They sat and talked about the fireworks until it was almost time for them to start. I convinced Kelsie at the last minute to come sit with all of us and watch, but Kelsie wasn't happy about it until the fireworks started and she realized they weren't as loud as she expected. She finally unplugged her ears 5-10 minutes into the show and kept saying they aren't too loud they are pretty. I am so glad she finally relaxed and enjoyed the show, because last year we had to leave right when they started because of the noise.
We spent the night at grandma and grandpa's that night and Kelsie crashed when we got back to their house. That is the latest she has stayed up since she was a tiny baby, so she was exhausted. She even slept in the next morning (meaning she slept until 6:50, but at grandma and grandpa's house that is pretty good considering she is usually up around 6)! On Sunday, we went swimming again and visited with everyone until it was time to go home. It was a very nice spending the holiday weekend with family.
