Happy 4th of July!!

We headed out to the Island last night to stake out our spot. Our friend Jennine called me in the afternoon to warn us that the docks were starting to fill up. They were trying to save the rest of the dock for us, so we could be behind them. We made it out and got the perfect spot to stay for a couple nights. Evan took a couple of rides on the swing and still loves it very much.

Boats, boats and more boats. Things are crowded and people are trying to make room for everyone. Thank goodness we didn't have to arrive today. If anyone left, their spot was quickly snatched up.



Evan plays down in the cabin as I heat up some potatoes while Eric grilled some steaks on the grill.
Evan makes a mess of his yogurt while Eric was feeding him. He likes to try and grab the spoon and he manages to really make a mess. He looks like he is really having fun!
Evan started a new trick last night. He takes one of these balls and puts it on the seat back right behind him and it slides off onto the floor like a roller coaster hill. Then of course we have to pick up the ball and give it back to him, so he can do it all over again.


We watched the fireworks from Dave and Jennine's boat. They have a large boat with a nice cockpit that is high up with a great view. Eric took a self portrait of us.

Here are some shots of the finale.

You can see lots of boats are watching the fireworks.
This is Evan watching the fireworks in his dreams! Thankfully he didn't wake up with all the noise. He is a great sleeper on the boat. Thank goodness for the air conditioning which creates a nice white noise to block out the noise and also keeps him cool. SWEET DREAMS!
