We planned our July 4th this year to be spent in St. Louis, we had to see what the crazy was about! We decided we would make a whole day trip out of this and invited Papa and Grandma Debbie to come along. (For everyone that doesn't know, there is a festival down by the arch during this weekend.) So we packed up the vehicle and we were on our way! The day was kind of rainy, but what are you going to do after driving 2 hours, we made the best of it. Kyleah got to get her first taste of fair food (chicken on a stick, corn dog, smoothies and funnel cake)..yum! As much as we enjoyed all of the food vendors, we watched Train in concert, and got to see a dog show. Corey fought the crowd and got Kyleah a pink balloon and a glow stick necklace. When the fireworks started we were all nervous for what Kyleah was going to think! She loved them! She screamed and clapped her hands the whole time, we couldn't have asked for her to be any better! Even though the display was only 15 minutes, the day was so great, we couldn't complain!
The next day we went to Decatur's fireworks and cooked out before with Papa. Corey's sister, brother-in-law, and nephew met up with us at the house and we headed to the lake. We then met up with my sis, brother and sister-in-law, and all my neices and nephews! It was great to have all Kyleah's cousins together! The fireworks were great and lasted longer than St. Louis's! Instead of fighting traffic we decided to hang around a little bit afterwards and light sparklers. Another great night; we got alot of pictures, had a great display of fireworks, and avoided falling into the lake!
