Yankee Doodle

The Fourth of July is a holiday that is always best spent with family, friends, and being outside. This year did not disappoint; plenty of outside, family, food, and fireworks. Drake had spent the week at his vacation lake home (David's parent's house), so Friday afternoon we went to join him. After a nice dinner, we drove to Seneca for fireworks.

After a late night of fireworks and moon bounce fun, we returned to the lake on Saturday for more cousin time. Drake spent a few hours floating around in the lake with his cousins and we got them out just in time for the neighborhood fireworks show to begin. This was my first experience with a neighborhood fireworks display and I must say, I was impressed.

 

No nap on Saturday made for an exhausted Drake by the time he got out of the water, which is why he refused to be in the cousin picture. He did perk up for the fireworks and enjoyed the show also. On the way home that night, Drake was having a full conversation with us one minute and the next, he was sound asleep. Kids are amazing...

Sunday was a day around the house. In the afternoon, Drake and I walked to the park so he could get out of the house and run around.
