Swimming and Fireworks

We went to Opa and Grammy's to swim and then have a birthday lunch with family. Since Karston's birthday falls on a holiday, he gets to spread his birthday out. Plus he can always see fireworks for his birthday! Karston started talking about seeing his cousins as soon as we told him they would swim at Opa and Grammy's too. I'm not sure what made him happier, seeing his cousins, swimming, jumping on the trampoline, getting more presents, or getting to blow out candles again and again! He lived it up for sure. Cale enjoyed kicking around in his baby float until he got splashed, he enjoyed trying to jump on the trampoline a few times, and he puffed with Karston to try to blow out those birthday candles.

This evening we went to see fireworks at the Poulton's. Karston liked seeing the fireworks, but he said they were too loud (they weren't particularly loud). Next year we should bring hearing protection for him. At least this year he got into the fireworks; when he was a baby, he wanted nothing to do with it. So I was quite surprised that Cale enjoyed the fireworks! He did jump in my arms, startled with each explosion, but he laughed and clapped and pointed to the fireworks too!
