We had a very eventful fourth of July. The rainy weather dampened our cookout plans at lunchtime, but we were still able to go to the Historic Arkansas Museum in downtown Little Rock for their Frontier Fourth of July Festival. I took Owen to it last year, and he loved it. So, we decided to take the entire Cearley clan this time. That led to much more "fun" (or stress, depending on how you look at it!). Arden was a bit cranky and got tired of being in the stroller pretty quickly, as we were out during the middle of her nap, then she started screaming during the gun shooting exhibits because of the loud noise! The boys still had fun participating in a watermelon seed spitting contest, whitewashing a fence like Tom Sawyer, walking on stilts, marching in the militia, and doing a sack race. They also got balloons that were made into swords. I enjoyed the ice-cold watermelon!
The highlight of our adventure was when Hudson decided that he wanted to run away from us. In a split second, we didn't know where he had gone, as it was very crowded. After several minutes of looking, we got the museum workers involved, and then a police officer was called by radio to begin a search. A few minutes later a museum employee brought him up to the front desk and said that she found him on the elevator where he was heading to the children's exhibit on the second floor by himself! Like I've said before, he's our risk taker. Thankfully, he was safe, but he was very mad that his getaway was ruined.
