We had a wonderful Independence day with the family! We woke up and I started to make pancakes for the family. We all played for a little while, and took a nap. Ate lunch, and rushed to get out of the door. We went to Grandpa Kens house. Our plans were to go on the boat, but we changed our mind at the last minute, because well, I just don't think that our children could be on a crowded boat with a life vest on for 3 hours just yet. We still went to Grandpa's house though. They had a carnival by the playground with a band. So we took their wagon (next year I'll decorate their wagon). We played on the playground for a while, and we got a spot of shade in the grass to watch the band - The Aubrey Tucker band. Kera was Ms. Independent and walked a few feet away from her family, and stood on her own and clapped her hands to the sound of the music. Drake sat right by Daddy and I. When the sun started to set, we walked to the house. Gave the kids dinner, and got our swimsuits on. We went swimming for about an hour. Drake fell asleep on my chest, it was such a sweet moment. I was just swaying him back and forth in the water. Then **BOOM** the fireworks had started. He woke up (he got about a ten minute nap in) and Kera was all excited. We stood in the water and watched the beautiful bright fire works in the sky. Great view I might add. Drake and Kera weren't scared at all!
That was the end of our Independence Day. It was a great 2nd 4th of July for our family. Pictures are posted.
