the 4th

Also known as the day Morgan almost had a heart attack.

We spent the morning with Allison and her family down at the beach. The weather was all over the place, but Addison had a great time swimming at the hotel pool and Morgan enjoyed walking the beach. In the afternoon we headed home and then off to see one of Addison's friends for fireworks. They had a spot where you could see the fireworks, but were far enough off the beach to be out of the masses and miss the traffic heading home. Her and Jake had a great time running around and shooting off fireworks. There was no fear with those two.

Poor Morgan. She was tired and terrified of the fireworks. The loud noises really freaked her out. I snapped these when we first got there and the neighbors were all doing fireworks.


This right here is complete fear. Notice the death grip she has on me? It didn't let up once.
I couldn't torture her anymore so we went inside and spent most of the night in there. Michael took over for me and did bring her out when the big show started. She was already in her pj's and half asleep. She did okay with the fireworks because they were so far away.
I also have to note the other heart attack moment that day. On the way to the big show we stopped and ran the car through the car wash. I look back and Addison is loving it and Morgan is trembling in fear. She wailed the entire time. And I'm not sure why but then Addison starting crying. Michael and I were in the front seat laughing. Is that bad? It was just one of those moments where all hell breaks lose and there's nothing you can do. All was well when it ended.
