Fireworks and smores

Congratulations to our friends Mary, Eric, and Hannah Pedersen on the new addition to their family!! Daughter Katherine Rose was born early Tuesday morning.

These are the last pictures from this past weekend. We woke up on the morning of July 4th to discover our neighbors had put the most exciting decorations on the beach--pinwheels. As you can imagine, since Jack is fascinated by fans, he loves pinwheels just about as much. Our neighbors had no idea what they were starting. When we finally had enough of Jack watching and playing with the pinwheels, we literally had to drag him away.

(Which one of us is pregnant?)


He soaked in some more pinwheel time in the evening when we went outside to make s'mores before the fireworks started.

We were able to lure Jack away from the pinwheels with the promise of dessert. This was the first time Jack had eaten s'mores, and I wasn't sure if he would actually try them. He's often weirded out by foods that are really messy or sticky. Here's his first bite.

Then he proved me wrong. He not only ate it; he snatched it out of my hands and started chowing down on it by himself. Mess and all, he finished almost the whole thing!



Watching fireworks on the beach (note pinwheel in hand). Jack handled the fireworks suprisingly well. He got nervous a couple times when neighbors close by set off some really loud ones, but for the most part he loved the show!

The dogs were not so thrilled about the fireworks. I went into the house and discovered them cowering under the table. At least they had each other for company!



Macie borrowed Lou's life jacket the next morning, and Aunt Lisa let her take a swim!
