The Sounds of the 4th of July
Jul 15th, 2008 by Jenn
I’m finally able to do some posting with pictures of our week in Texas! This is my way to do some “digital scrapbooking”!
So we traveled west to my dad’s in Borger, TX on the 4th with my brother and his 3-year-old son, Jack (my sister-in-law and niece had gone to visit a friend in Colorado). My dad and his wife Janet live in a neighborhood that is outside the city limits. Dad had told me that it gets kind of crazy out there on July 4th with everyone’s fireworks, and he wasn’t kidding! I can’t believe the amount of money some people spend on things that blow up! But one problem existed with all of this…Drew is slightly “noise sensitive”. Tornado alarms, babies crying, loud-flushing-public toilets at Target - all send his little hands up to his ears and his eyes in tears! But glory to God, we have a Papa with lots of tools! Here was his solution for Drew to endure the fireworks….
Of course if he had some “ear muffs”, they all had to have them….
Bubbles are much quieter though…
Thanks for a great time, Papa and Meme!
love the earmuffs!
I found you via Heidi.

Did you sneak a new blogging format past me? (grin)
