Each year, we go over to the beach side of town to get a great view of the fireworks launched on the riverside of the island. It's usually a few hours spent outside eating and hanging out beforehand. Girlfriend LOVES to go outside with me, but we usually only stay out for 20-30 minutes at a time. So when were outside for about an hour, she lost. her. shit. I get it, I screwed up. Pushed her for longer than she was used to. I took her inside but...y'all, I have never heard her cry so loud for so long. I was actually worried she had gotten bitten or something. She wasn't having any of that nursing business, changing her diaper didn't help, and the trusty white noise of the hair dryer (saved as a voice memo on my phone) didn't do its usual magic. We took her out to the car, blasted the A/C, and drove around for a bit. She was asleep in five minutes. Thank. GOD!
We drove her around so she could sleep for about an hour. When we got back we planned on just taking shifts of bringing her inside every 30 minutes. Then, the manager of the facility we were at came over to tell us that he opened up the two story building overlooking the water for families with young kids to be able to watch from the balcony or inside. Again, thank God! We were able to snap a few pictures out on the balcony, but watched the rest from inside in the air conditioning! Homegirl was a happy camper, and we had the best view!
Hadley Girl, we hope you enjoyed you first Fourth of July! We hope you grow up appreciating all of the people that make our freedom possible.
God Bless America!
