(Sorry, the pictures loaded out of order for some reason)
We had a great 4th of July this year and a busy one! They had a 4th of July celebration down by Evergreen lake. First, Christopher got to try his hand at fishing for the first time. They stocked the lake the day before and they supply kid-size poles, so the kids have a decent chance at catching something. We met up with friends there and got to spend the day together.
Looking like a true fisherman, hat and all...
This was just before fishing, waiting to get our instructions...
The kids (Eli left, Kai middle) were checking out the fish that Kai caught...
Having a snack in a lawn chair by the band, in the field by the lake...
Dancing to the music...
This was the fish Christopher caught. We were "catch and release" people...
Christopher and his friend, Kai, perched on a rock...
Christopher and Eli trying to keep their balance on top of the same rock...
Having a popcorn snack in the back of the car while waiting for it to get dark enough for the fireworks to start. This was the first year he actually enjoyed them and only covered his ears about half the time...
Little hard to see, but this is Christopher in the bouncy castle (part of the kids activities they had down by the lake, as well) and he LOVED it!!
Hope you had a good (and safe) 4th of July, too!
So...Christopher had a forehead vs. forehead experience at Preschool this past week, resulting in a split forehead for him. He's fine, but did get to have his first Dermabond experience, which he referred to as "purple paint." He was a trooper and sat perfectly still while getting glued back together. Once we were done at the doctor's office, his first question was "can we go to the park now?" Gotta love his willingness to jump right back in...
