Would love to say that Annie loved the fireworks - she did glance up at them once in a while but for the most aprt no matter how loud they were she just wanted to wave at all the cars going by and snuggle with Grammy!

Not sure if the kids were more excited for fireworks or Daisy (the ice cream lady) coming!
