Lola's first fireworks show!


Lola attended her first firework show this evening. Aaron got a call from Rick, an old co-worker, who invited us to a 4th of July celebration at a private residence on Shawnee Lake. There was a live band followed by fireworks. We've been debating taking her to see fireworks this year wondering if she was ready. This seemed like a perfect party, not too many people and lake front seating for the fireworks. Lola met a new friend named Anna who introduced her to blue KoolAid and I'm 100% sure that the fact that Anna was 6 and SO EXCITED for the firework show made Lola in turn SO EXCITED for the firework show. She seemed a little nervous when people started shooting off those stupid fireworks that you can purchase at Walgreen's but after a few of those she relaxed. I didn't. Drunk people & Walgreen's fireworks don't always make a good combo.

Once the big show started this is what we heard at each firework:
Lola to anyone that was listening "WOAH! DID YOU SEE THAT ONE?"
Anna "I liked that one the best!"
It was pretty cute and fun to see how much she loved it.

Thanks Rick!

Hey Emilee it's Crystal. Cute cute pictures. Sorry Jason and I couldn't make it. We were outside all day the 3rd and the 4th and by the 4th at 6 we crashed until 10. Looks fun-bummed I missed it. Also! I forgot to wish Aaron happy birthday. Boo.
