4th of July Fireworks

We celebrated th 4th of July with an unobstructed view of the Macy's Firework display over the Hudson River. Normally, it's in the east river but to commemorate the birthday of Henry Hudson, they moved it. Which was perfect for us since Rahav has a huge balcony on the 21st floor that overlooked all of the fireworks. We had 30+ people over, including my good friend's Patti, Jeff and their adorable 3 month old daughter Kaia.

Dante got a bit freaked out when the show started and kept clinging to us but never letting his gaze leave the spectacular display. He insisted on watching from behind the window and then would creep out every so often to test his nerves. Weeks later, he's still waking up saying "Fireworks, scary, cool fireworks." This is the first memory he's held onto. Rahav and I wonder if it will be his firs imprinted memory to recall years to come.
