Logan watched fireworks for his second Fourth of July.

We put Logan to sleep at 8:30 - around his normal bedtime - and we got him up again to go see the fireworks at 9:30. It was a warm night for the 4th, and he slept soundly in his stroller on the walk down to the park. When we crossed 50th the crowds of pedestrians started to become noticeable - big groups of people were leaving their parties and streaming south to see the fireworks at the lake. We arrived at Wallingford park and immediately set up in a spot that turned out to have no view at all. Logan woke up after a particularly loud illegal firework went off in the nearby wading pool.

When the Lake Union fireworks finally started we quickly moved to a spot where we could see it. Logan was excited - he pointed at the explosions of color and shouted "Dat! Dat!" He also loved watching the planes flying overhead, and pointed those out as well. He was a pretty happy and pretty tired baby.
