Celebrating America's birthday

We headed north to the lake for the Fourth of July weekend. Will did pretty well during his first road trip and slept for the majority of the drive. The weather was fabulous, and the kids had a ton of fun playing with their cousins. Ella had all kinds of firsts during our stay, including:
  • A ride on the jet ski (or husky as she calls it)
  • Fun with sparklers
  • Marshmallow roasting for s'mores
  • Catching and pulling apart lightning bugs (yuck ... her idea, not mine)
  • Fireworks at the lake
Here are some pics from the holiday weekend:

Happy Fourth!
Our cute niece Kiernan.
Yes, that's the "lightening" part of the lightening bug, and yes, she looks a bit crazy.
