our 4th of july

This is how we spent our day...

Headed to "Family Fourth" at the downtown Bellevue park. After 30 mins Cole decided that he was "tired of all of this" and Blake ended up screaming in his stroller the entire 15 min walk back to the car. We decided to skip the big firework show that night and bought our own fireworks instead.




I got a few shots of this little cutie enjoying his favorite treat, a popsicle.




Cole was actually excited for fireworks! Which was nice, since last year he spent the whole night hiding under a blanket in the house.



He still wasn't too sure about the loud ones.



But loved the sparklers.




And Mr. Cranky Pants here got to sit in his throne on the porch and watch the fireworks while eating some snacks. He was fascinated by the lights and sounds but eventually got too cranky for it all and went to bed.


By the time it was dark, it sounded like a war zone in our neighborhood. Pretty much all fireworks are legal in Lynnwood so we had about 5-6 big firework shows going off all around us. Once we were done with ours, we just sat on our front porch and watched all of the others. Cole really got into the fireworks this year and insisted we all clap after each one. The older these boys get, the more fun stuff like this becomes!

And that was our day. Hope everyone else had a nice 4th of July as well!
