4th of July

Yesterday was the birthday of our country's Independence... so I showed everyone how independent I have become.

My parents and I went to a family friend's home on a lake where I got run up and down a grassy hill all day. Nothing could have been more fun.

Here is what I got to look at all afternoon:

My dad let me look at up close at the lake, but to Jack's dislike, I never did get to touch it:

Basically my entire family was there (minus a few important people) including my cousin, Nick. We got to spend time hanging out with our Grandma:

My Aunt Kim told me that Nick started crawling the day before (on his 8th month birthday) so I gave him a kiss to congratulate him:

I got to play fribee with the girls:

I even worked on my canoeing skills:

After an afternoon of fun in the sun was coming to and end and the fireworks were getting ready to go off, my grandma gave me a sponge bath to clean all the sunscreen off:

With some clean clothes on (including pajama bottoms) I was contained to the playard:

But the fireworks kept me distracted from the fact I was no long free (but isn't this the land of the free?):

When the big show from the middle of the lake (basically right in front of us) started, my mom took me out of the playard... so I forgave her.

I know this was a lot of pictures, but it was such a fun day and I am such a busy boy. Hope you had a great 4th of July.
