4th of July

This was Noah's first 4th of July that he stayed up for fireworks. My mom and brother, Jacob, came to visit that week so we were able to enjoy the holiday with them. During the day, we headed to the pool for some swimming and then came home to grill some hot dogs. We left around 8:30 that night to get some ice cream and then watch the fireworks.

Noah did great most of the time. :) He normally goes to bed around 8:30pm so some parts of the evening involved mini-meltdowns. Once the fireworks started, he settled down. He really enjoyed the finale with all of the fireworks shooting one after another!

Mmmm...ice cream!

First attempt at a family picture...Noah was NOT having it!

Attempt #2...Noah's still not happy, but at least he's not covering Daddy's face with the flag!

Pool Time!

We took Noah to the local pool near our house. They have a "rainforest" area with a zero-depth entry pool for the little kids and Noah LOVES it! He kept trying to crawl into the "deep end". He also really enjoyed being in the big kid pool with Mommy and Daddy.  I think we have a water baby on our hands!

I'm ready to go, Mom!
