Cause Baby You're a Firework!

We've lived in the Lionville area for over 3 years now, but have never been to the Uwchlan Community Day.  Last year my sister Jen was getting married the day of the festival (Happy Anniversary Jen & Andy) so we couldn't go, but this year we were excited to have nothing planned that day.  The day ends in the self proclaimed best fireworks in Chester County.  Noah has only been to fireworks once and Grace had never so we were excited for the kids to experience a great American tradition. The day was a blast and we spent 5 plus hours there!  Here are some pictures from the day.

 Noah enjoyed several rides - which he rode by himself!!!  It freaked me out because he's becoming so independent.  He's a kid, not a baby anymore!

 Noah vs. another kid named Noah....our Noah won! :)

 Noah took this part very seriously.  He wore his firefigher hat and had this look on his face the entire time he sat in the fire truck.  He would not smile at all...very very serious business.

 Another shot of how seriously Noah took being a firefighter.  Look at the concentration on his face!
 We asked Noah to make a firefighter's face and this is the face he made over and over again, it was hilarious!!.

 fireworks!!!!
 Grace was very good with her first fireworks.  She didnt cry or fuss at all.  She just quietly watched them.  Meanwhile Noah is freaking out so I had to hold my hands over his ears the entire time because he didn't like how loud they were.
A few minutes in to the fireworks Grace FELL ASLEEP!!!!   And she stayed asleep, it was unbelievable!

I have to say they were the longest, and best fireworks I've ever seen.  They were even better than the fireworks after the Phillies games down in the city.  I was very impressed and thrilled that the best fireworks were basically in our backyard!  All in all it was a great family day that we've been needing for quite some time!
