Happy 4th of July!

On July 3rd, we went to the Menomonee Falls parade with the Mahlum family. Jack was very good but seemed to find it a little strange when a) our street filled with cars and there were people walking everywhere, b) we were standing in the middle of the street with tons of people around, and c) when strange looking things started coming toward us in the street.... ! But he watched with interest (I assume) and he waved a little bit (mostly when there was no one to wave at, but oh well, he's getting better! Jack and I left the parade around 8pm. He was starting to get tired and I didn't want him to fall asleep on the walk back home since he really needed a bath! That night he fell asleep around 8:40, and on the 4th he's still awake at 5:40am!!! What's the deal??


Happy 4th of July from Jackson!

On the 4th we went to a picnic at my aunt & uncles house. The weather wasn't great (no sun!) and the mozquitos were terrible! But we had a good time and really good food! Jack didn't see any fireworks this year, he was getting too sleepy both nights... but next year we will.

Enjoying the picnic with Grandpa Steve and Great-Auntie Karen!

At the campfire, eating snacks - we look so patriotic in red, white & blue!
