Independence!


The Fourth of July is always a special time for us. With my oldest having his birthday on the 4th of July, there is always a reason to celebrate just a little bit longer. 
How did you celebrate?

Ours looked a little like this...


Miss Macy, water balloon helper extraordinaire.


Toddlers making great heroic stands on tree stumps.


Girl cousins frolicking towards the woods, hand in hand. 


Freshly water-ballooned boys turning 7 and asking for a flag cake because " It is ALSO America's birthday, so I should get the flag cake."
Mr. Patriotic 7 yr old.


Sometimes you just don't know what to do when everyone is singing and looking at you. 



This was the best picture we could get of the girls. So, yeah... toddlers.



Blue- eyed boys with blue tongues and blue suckers. The perfect summer trifecta.



The annual golf ball hitting on the 4th. Colin's swing is both scary and impressive.



Boats loaded down with kids, anxious to get the sandy strip up river and splash away.



The Muskegon River



Boat rides at dusk,worth the work of rowing.



When do you know that it is time for some fireworks?
When someone puts on her special celebration sassy pants, that's when.


Happy Birthday, Jack!
Happy Birthday, America!


I hope everyone celebrated and enjoyed their Independence Day!
