This 4th of July was our first year home (not camping) for Independence day in several years so we decided to go to the St. Paul Rodeo. It was a full day event starting with the parade, a carnival and then the rodeo. We came home in time for a backyard party at Mimi's house and fireworks in My. Angel. It was a busy day, and not as relaxing as past 4th of July holidays when we usually are camping and celebrate in a more low-key way, but Mira LOVED the rodeo and it was fun to have the experience. Since I spent much of the day with a toddler in an Ergo on my back, pushing a tired baby who refused to nap or watching the rodeo through the bleachers from the shade under the grandstands I hope that next year we can go back to our lazy picnic way of celebrating. However it was a fun day and we made lots of memories.
