The 4th (part 2)

Landen enjoying the view from the balcony
 Yes, I'm totally aware of the fact that it's been almost 2 months since my blog (as if I'm in "confessional"), but it's been a crazy, busy, fun last couple of months. But, before I move on to that, let's finish up with the 4th...

So, after we had our ward party, we headed down to the Riverwalk to spend the night and watch the fireworks. Brian got us a room with a balcony facing towards the firework...it was perfect! First off we played in the rooftop swimming pool!

We also went to eat dinner at Rainforest Cafe on the Riverwalk. It's been FOREVER since I've eaten there, and still just as good as I remembered. Abrie had a blast, but Landen wasn't too keen on the whole thunder and raining effects every 10-20 minutes...he eventually warmed up a bit (meaning he was able to eat his food without having to cover his ears as shown below.

It was perfect being able to watch the fireworks, then just roll into bed and fall asleep instead of fighting all the traffic trying to get home. We might have to make it a tradition!(?)




Awesome full moon that night!

Landen not enjoying the "thunder" at Rainforest Cafe

Yes, we kept the plastic wrapper on the crayons (we're not THAT horrible of parents)

Kinda goofy one of Brian, but the best one I could get. Landen wanted a picture with the gorilla

The ducks are seriously fearless on the Riverwalk!

The view from our balcony. They were putting on a free concert and activities in the park right across from us
