So here is the idea: We are living near Washington DC, the capital of the nation, which has a fantastic fireworks show and we just had the cutest baby in the world. We should invite our families out to see the fireworks and visit the baby.

Here is what we didn't consider: Mothers+Fathers+Brothers and Sisters+Nieces and Nephews=28 people. We live in a two bedroom townhouse. We (meaning me) are the only ones that know where we are going.

I really got to think these things through better. Luckily only only sixteen of the 28 showed up. Even then herding 16 people downtown in Washington DC is like her sheep.



And to make matters even better, it decided to rain on us..............three times.
Some people apparently enjoyed the rain. Drostan is under the blue poncho eating, so he didn't mind it either.
He was awake for the show and he didn't cry at all. The first explosion startled him a little but after that he just looked up and enjoyed the lights.
