We spent the 3rd of July on Sauvie Island (Portland) picking berries. Unfortunately, I never got any photos... but, we spent the whole day / evening at Ft. Vancouver for the 4th of July celebration and fireworks. I did get some photos and here they are! Note the 8 feet wide, "sport-brella" that Mormor and Morfar got for Phoenix. It was a "lifesaver" in this sort of situation. Phoenix thinks it's his "tent" and had a blast in his own personal "outside room"! There were reportedly over 60,000 people attending this event, so the bit of privacy it offered was great. It lessened the stimulation overload for Phoenix. We had toys to play with and books to read. He was even able to take a nap!
Phoenix was great all day, but when the fireworks started it was a bit too much for him. But, we stayed (he was being held tightly by his Mommies) and he survived!
