July is one of my favorite months-- and not just because it's my birthday month. I love summer in all of its hot, sunny and bug-ridden glory. And I love the 4th of July. I never met a July 4th I didn't like. Evan also seems to share in my appreciation of the holiday.
We spent the past week over the 4th in Hilton Head at casa de G&G Terreri. It was a great week-- Jason's sister Kim and her husband Shane, and Jason's brother DJ and his wife Heather were all there too. The July 4th tradition in Hilton Head is hot dogs and fireworks on the dock. Evan did not get to enjoy a hot dog, but he did witness fireworks for the first time. He loved them! He stared in awe-- mouth open-- at the lights and did not even flinch once at the noise. I was shocked at how calmly he reacted to the whole thing. I guess it's right in line with his easy-going personality.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the events apart from a couple of Evan in his patriotic outfit (thanks G-Bonnie!). I wish I could have captured the look on Evan's face. My brother-in-law Shane said it perfectly when he remarked that, "it's not often that you get to witness someone's reaction to their very first experience of something."
