It rained...... Not the whole day and not a severe thunderstorm like we've experienced lately, but it was raining. There we sat on the outer rim of the wet, grassy bowl facing an outdoor stage with Myla in her stroller, me sitting next to her holding an umbrella for her in one hand with one for myself in the other, next to Kara who was sitting under Kathi's umbrella. Luckily there was a break so we could eat our sandwiches and chips awaiting the concert to begin. Myla must have walked us around the park several times over the course of the evening in her little cupcake sandals that didn't keep her feet dry at all. (bad planning on our part) But soon she was in her jammies and sweater covered in a blankie watching fireworks that seemed almost within reach.
We listened to this a-capella band called the Nylons. They're Canadians.... They put on a good show and were even kinda funny between songs while they caught their breath, it's the elevation. But Myla was the most fun to watch with her stumbling all over the grass, gazing at the other kids throwing a football and running around. She was the smallest of the kids out there. But when those fireworks went off with all their thunderings and claps and flashes Myla nearly lept off our laps in excitement, pointing and ooohing... She was so much fun to watch and hear her enjoyment.
Our little girl is growing up. She walks by herself like a drunkard and says things like "I did it!" and "I got it!" in her little toddler voice that's just so darling. Soon she'll be 16 and spending the summer in Omaha at Grammy and G-Daddy's.... J/K. We look forward to everyday that we can spend with her and see what she learns and find the magic in little things again.
