Fourth Fun

The Fourth of July was so much fun this year.

So, this is parental supervision?
Last year...I was stuck inside with a brand new baby trying to keep my sanity.

This year, we were in a field eating out of the back of a truck and enjoying the plane show and fire works! All with a smiley, bubbly one-year-old!



The plane, boss! The plane!!


 So much fun!
Kaboom!!
