First 4th

This year was, in essence, both of our boys first 4th of July experience. Last year, for Logan's first Independence Day, we were off to Young Life camp in Michigan for the month, so he didn't witness any festivities. We had so much fun with our friends Dave and Julie and their adorable kiddos, Ella and Brody in White Bear Lake. The weather was beautiful and we were lucky to spend the day at Dave and Julie's beautiful home across from the lake.


Showing off their festive clothes


Logan likes to point out the stars on his shirt


After lots of playtime in the yard, the "big boys" - being the Dads! - pulled out some kid-friendlt fireworks to show. Ella is two and a half and she is a doll! Logan loved playing on her playset in the yard and as you can see from these photos, he liked hanging out with her.


"worms"


Logan decided he loves watermelon!


The family of four!


The highlight was Logan holding his first sparkler. He loved it and was pretty good at whipping it around - look out! Bennett and I stayed back in the safety zone while the little man snoozed away the day, as usual! You can see Dave and Julie's house in the background - its pretty amazing!
