Cracker Boom Booms

We survived the fireworks - or as Sarah calls them cracker boom booms. We spent an exciting 4th of July weekend in Ft. Worth...Thursday night we drove straight to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens for a concert in the park. Sarah had a blast running around and dancing to the music. Then the concert ended with some spectacular fireworks - Sarah was not impressed. Not a big fan of anything loud, Sarah was a trooper anyways.



On Friday Kenneth sailed in the Ft. Worth Boat Club's annual Commodore's race and won! (Are we really surprised by that??) After a few cool drinks at the club Kenneth and crew sailed Mom's J-27 "Alegre" across the lake to the dock outside Mom's house. Then after a wonderful barbecue dinner, we sailed back to the boat club and arrived just in time for the fireworks. Sarah was a little scared at first but armed with Mommy Dumbo and Baby Dumbo and the always faithful LaLa she made peace with the fireworks. She sat in Grammy's lap and named the colors of all the fireworks.

Saturday Kenneth and I went over to Denton to visit Alex, Byron, and Harley while Sarah took Grammy to the library. They watched a puppet show and played on the train before checking out some books and movies.

Sunday we were able to swim in the pool while Kenneth sailed in the Sunday race - I think they got second? After that it was time to hit the road. Sarah fell asleep before we were even out of the driveway and slept most of the way home. I think we were all a little worn out!
