The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. And like may holidays it means dressing in holiday colors. So bright and early Sunday morning we all dressed in red, white and blue.
After church the celebration started with bright red frosting and sprinkles. We made "funfetti" cupcakes with red and blue dots and went on a sugar rush. Then with hot dogs and fries to top it off, we were off into the city for fireworks.
We took the train to 59th and then walked to 57th all the way west. We found a spot in the middle of the street and spread out our Texas blanket. "Where was Jack?", you may ask...
Where most kids should be at 9:00 at night, asleep in their stroller.
We watched a beautiful sunset across the Hudson River while dripping sweat. It was in the mid 90 and the fireworks were about to start.
A few thousand or our little friends joined our street party. This was a view just to the north of of us. The crowds went from 59th Ave to 12th Ave.
Once the fireworks started Jack was up and the kids were climbing on the police barrier in front of us.
The show was amazing with new fireworks that I had never seen before.
When it was all over we went with ALL of our new friends to the the train... and then took a taxi home. It was a great night, and as Matt says something we never need to do again :)
