4th of July 2009

Michael wasn't at the fire station, for once!!!, for 4th of July so we headed to Ft. Gordon to watch the fireworks and to meet Oma, Opa, and Audrey.


Helena and Audrey were excited to ride the ponies! This is the same place that Helena went on her first pony ride in October of '08.


Petting her pony...



Audrey, happy to ride her pony.




We ended up sitting really close to my good friend Jamie Goulet's family. Jamie, Helena, and I came to the fireworks together last year, so it was fun to see her family here this year. This is a picture of Helena with Jamie's niece, Jalin. Jalin was so sweet to share with Helena! Later on, Jamie's parents shared some of their glow necklace with Helena and Audrey. Thank you!!!



The Tomaszewski family on 4th of July. Typical Helena, will not look at the camera, and typical Michael, pretending to smile when all he really wants to do is eat his hot dog.




Helena, loving (little-girl-handling) Sebastian while she eats her plain bun.



The kids waiting for the fireworks to begin!



Oma and Opa had the right idea...they brought their super comfy pool recliner chairs. Not fun to carry out to the field, but definitely worth it while watching the fireworks!





Helena using her glow bracelets as a teether...that's safe right?



Daddy/Uncle Mikey holding the girls while they watch the great fireworks!

Happy 4th of July, 2009!!!
