First Fourth

We stayed in town for the Fourth of July - had a relaxing day at home and then went to my aunt and uncle's house in Wallingford.  As a kid, it was always a July 4th tradition to meet the rest of the family there for food and fireworks.  This year was a little different because most of the cousins weren't there and we missed the fireworks part.  When you have a baby whose ideal bedtime is 8 pm, 10 pm fireworks aren't in the cards.  Maybe in a few years, when the kids can enjoy them together and staying up past their bedtime is a treat.  Here are a few family photos from the holiday (plus a few outtakes...flag waving is tricky).

Daddy, let me show you how to hold a flag.

Maybe I can reach this plant if I use the flag...

I see something cooler than Mommy's camera down there.

I like to show Mommy I can still blow raspberries.

I love clapping!
