4th of July

The 4th of July was so much fun this year. You were able to stay up until 11 to watch fireworks and you had quite a few friends to play with. You got to spend the day with Nana and Popper playing in the backyard until Dad and I were done floating the river. Then we headed home to get ready for the BBQ. You had Sean, Caitlin, and Meagan's girls Bella and Zoe to play with. Then Uncle Matt, Aunt Tina, Uncle Chris, Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Grae, Janne, Jake, and Jessica were also there.

The 4th of July fun consisted of water balloons, water guns, a slip and slide, the pool and of course fireworks. The fun wore you out. You slept in until 9 the next morning and then almost 10 on Sunday. When I asked you this weekend what your favorite part of the 4th were, you replied with “Uncle Matt.”

Look at how cute all you kids were dressed up in your red, white, and blue!

This was the best I could get with you. As hard as I try to re-create our first 4th of July picture I just can't. 

Sparklers with Mom and Dad. 

Uncle Grae bought us a ton of fireworks. These were just a couple of them.

Sweet cousin Caitlin

Sparkler time! You did burn yourself on them as you touched the end on purpose. You didn't cry though but you were definitely distraught over it. 

Water fun with the kids in the backyard. 

The watermelon cake mommy made. You loved this and asked for it for breakfast and lunch the next day. I let you since it was mostly fruit with a little bit of whipped cream on it. It was a hit with you and the whole party.
