Fourth of July

We celebrated the Fourth of July with our annual trip to the Eastlake fireworks! Every year the family gathers here and we pack up drinks, snacks, and dessert and head to the Olympic Training Center for the Eastlake sponsored firework show. We stake out our spot at about 5:30 and then play around until the fireworks start at about 9:00. We buy our main dinner from the onsite Hunter Steakhouse BBQ wagon and then break open our cooler of extras. Jacob has discovered his love of spray on tattoos and balloon art. This year he got patriotic flames on his leg and was sporting a pirate hat, sword, and belt! After eating we lounged around on the grass listening to music and watching Jacob tackle Michael and Uncle Sean in their football game. As it got dark we purchased the annual glow necklace and then watched the fireworks. They were better this year than last and everybody, even Olivia, loved them! It was another great Fourth of July celebration!

Look how big Olivia, sitting up! And of course Jacob's cute as ever. Wish the flame tattoo was visible in the photo!

What fun! Thanks for letting me tag along. I keep watching Michael and Jacob playing football. That giggle! And Livie was so cute all night.
