Happy 4th!

Benjamin had a wonderful first 4th of July out at the lake!

Benjamin and Luke really got into the festivities with their flag shirts from Tula. Tula won the award for "Most Patriotic" with her star tiara and flashing star necklace. The boys were fascinated with their whimsical Tula's attire. Benjamin loves America.

We were all up bright and early the next day. Ben enjoyed a bottle on the porch with his Uncle Brian. He is getting so close to holding it on his own but still needs some assistance.

The best part of the day is having coffee out on the porch while watching the lake. I love the kid in the front - morning bedhead. check. tiny chair. check. cup of milk. check. banana. check.

Benjamin loved hanging out with his fun Uncle Grant.

Rosy checks, slobbery face, messed up hair... This baby loves the lake!

Benjamin had so much fun watching Luke "fish" in the baby pool. He got a little too excited and left a little something for Luke to fish out. Oops! :)

Just hanging out...

Daddy made sure Ben was super hydrated.

After a long day of fun, Benjamin was ready for bed.

The next day we had fun playing outside on the swings. Benjamin got a little sleepy...

I love this baby.

Benjamin loved talking with his Tula and Pop.

Milk coma.

Benjamin's first 4th was a huge success! I know we will enjoy many more 4ths out at the lake!

All that fun sure was exhausting...
