4th of July

On the 4th of July we went to Auburn. This is a town just southwest of Topeka. It should have taken us 30-40 min. to get there, but with Joshua driving it took about an hour and a half!!! When we got there some of the kids were shooting their fireworks and Cooper immediately hated it. We knew we would be in for a long night!!!



We stopped the kids fireworks and let them play on the slip-n-slide while we waited for it to get dark and set off the "good stuff". Cooper had never been on one before and he was so excited to be "swimming". We tried to get him to do it himself and he would either, run on the slide and fall backwards (So funny) or would lay down on his belly and "crawl" to the end. Either way, he was having a blast with the other kids.



Once it got dark we set off the other fireworks and Cooper made sure to be close by anyone who would hold him during the show.
