July 4, 2009 Continued...

So, this is proof that Jonathan did indeed make it down here safely. We sat on the lawn in front of the museum and listened to the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra play Sousa, Brahms,Mozart and John Williams. I think the Sousa was a little challenging for them since a couple of the high C's were just too high for the trumpets to hit clearly. But then, I'm picky about stuff like that, and they played it a lot better than I ever could!
Kate was so excited when they finally started the fireworks. She turned to me and begged me to take pictures. I explained that pictures of fireworks don't turn out, but she had such a woebegone face that I just had to try. What mothers do for their children...

Now, Georgie is just cute. That's all I can say. She didn't get scared of the fireworks, and was a good girl for the entire show. She drank lots of milk, lots of water, and ate chips and goldfish crackers. The only down side of the evening was that we forgot to bring the stroller. We decided to walk back to the car instead of taking the shuttle and Jonathan had to carry Georgie the whole way since Tanner had all of the picnic gear, and I was running after Reagan. By the way, before the fireworks started, Reagan thought the glow necklaces were the fireworks. She thought the trip to the museum was well worth it even before the main event took place. When the fireworks started, she sat mesmerized and didn't once look around to make sure that we were still near her.


Yeah, I'm happy my bro is here. Sure missed him. Glad I don't have to miss him anymore.
