Oh. I just realized that the assignment this week also included food. Hmm. I have plenty of pictures from Independence Day, and plenty of food was eaten. I just didn’t get pictures of it. But I have pictures of the boys at the parade, where they ate their fair share of candy. It pays to be cute!
We had a great time at the parade. Our families came, and it wasn’t totally sunny so we weren’t roasting sitting there!
Later that afternoon, we headed out west a bit to our friend’s parents’ home on the lake. It’s an (almost) annual tradition. We swim (but not me this year-too cold!), and eat, and go out on the pontoon boat. It’s always a great time. This year, we stayed for the fireworks that are set off right at the shore across the lake, and we had front row seats in the boat. My friend’s 2-year-old, Andrew, wasn’t too sure about it, but he was a trooper!
Here he is. We’re best buds. (Caden is in the background being silly with Andrew’s big sister.)
The fireworks capped off a great day.
I could add so many more pictures. But it’s late, and I need to get to bed! And you all have other things to do with your time. So head over to Beth’s to see what others had to say and show!
These are great! What a nice day… and I don’t miss the food pics, they only make me hingry! 🙂
HUNGRY… and tired evidently.
Great shots!! What a fun day!
It looks like you had a blast. Great pics!
I love the sucker shot. And that is an amazing fireworks photo!
Lucky duck. I would love to watch the fireworks from a boat! We didn’t even get to the Big Bang on the 3rd because my youngest was sick. Great pics!
What a sweet, sweet family you have! Terrific photos.
It looks like you all had a GREAT day! The blue in that sucker is perfect with his blond cuteness (and it so pays to be cute!). The “bang” at the end is wonderful as well!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
You took some great pictures of your really fun day. I especially love how you focused in tight on the food and the great fireworks shot that you captured.
What a beautiful set of pictures. I love the vibrancy in the colors. Great stuff!
Those are wonderful beautiful shots.

Those boys are super cute, great shots this weeek – very fun!
Looks like a great day! I love the sucker shot!
