Nick in the water rings.
Grandma came over and played with Nick before nap time and then watched soaps while Dad took a nap of his own. After the afternoon dip in the pool we had hot dogs for dinner which Nick enjoyed. He didn't enjoy the idea of washing his hands after so Dad had to do a little strong arming. This didn't work so well as going through the bathroom door there was quite a thump. Same spot! The knot on his head was pretty good size now so we had to try and ice it down, Nick didn't seem to mind the bump after a while and by bedtime it was down to normal, just a little color.

Today was the first 4th of July that Nick was aware of, so despite scorching weather I decided to brave the show at Tumbleweed park. My mom came with to help out and enjoy the little one. The show was to start at 9:30 so we were definitely going to be pushing Nick to his limit. We went to the playground he likes so much and played there for about an hour. We tried to go get some kettle corn but the line was crazy long and Nick wasn't in a staying in line mood so we went hunting for a spot to watch the fireworks. Ultimately the fireworks didn't start till almost 10 so we had already moved to the car by then and when the fireworks started up Nick wanted nothing to do with them. He already had a sucker to calm him down so he sat in the truck while we watched a bit of the fireworks. What we watched were alright but it was way to late so we missed most of it. Nick did so good though and thanks to Grandma for helping keep him occupied.

If we weren't interested in the goings on at the park (food, games, playground, 2hr delay leaving) we would watch from McQueen just north of the little jog in the road (south of the park).
