July Fun: 4th of July and Star WarsNight

  July 2012 was such a busy month for Joel and I, but we started if off with a bang. July 4th we spent the morning  hanging out just the two of us. In the afternoon we went over to Joel's godparents for some fun and food. That night we all four went to Raccoon River Park in Des Moines, IA to watch fireworks. It was so hot and muggy. Plus there were a lot of people there. Joel enjoyed running back and forth on the path. Next time we got to remember to take snacks and drinks for little man. Finally the fireworks began. They were not only beautiful in the sky but the reflection of them over the water was so beautiful.

At the end of the month Joel, his Grandma M., his godparents, and I got to watch Joel get to meet his favorite Characters come to life. Joel just loves and adores Star Wars. So one night they had a Star Wars night at Valley West Mall in Des Moines, Iowa. It was neat to watch Joel has he went around meeting both bad and good guys. I think his godfather had just as much fun as Joel. As he loves Star Wars as well. It was a good bonding time for Joel and his godfather. It was neat watch my son's dream of meeting Star War characters in person come to life.
