We thought it was almost over, but it went on for about 30 more minutes. Even though her team should have won, it ended in a tie. Whatev. It was fun! She is so cute, and such a great catcher. She got up to bat once while we were there, and got walked, but I've seen her hit, and she's a good hitter, too. She's just super cute all around.
After the game we went to Kari and Eric's for a BBQ with Kari's family. We didn't stay too long because Matthew got a little cranky, but we had fun while we were there, and the food was certainly yummy.
We came home, Matthew took a short nap, then we headed over to a neighborhood BBQ. It was really fun to get to know some of our neighbors a little more. We came back home, gave Matthew a bath and got him ready for bed, then went back outside and did a few fireworks. I got burned on my finger by a sparkler (ugh). Fireworks safety! I have a nice little blister there now. Hopefully it heals quick.
I was a little nervous that Matthew was going to cry during the fireworks. Lately he's been crying at really loud noises, like today he cried when people cheered loudly at the softball game. But, he actually did really well. He chuckled at some of the fireworks, and then fell asleep in Connor's arms when they were about half way through. It was so cute.
The elementary school ended up being an awesome place to watch the fireworks, and we were out of there really quickly. It was a really great 4th this year.
Happy 4th everyone!
