4th of July Weekend

Roderick had his 1st 4th of July and he loved every minute of it.  We began our long weekend visiting with Mike and Samora Jones! Mrs. Jones (aka Miss Frank) taught with me at Stevenson Elementary.  Last year, these two crazy people up and quit their jobs to travel around the world.  Gotta love their free spirit and appreciation for a stress free life.   Since then, Mike Jones, the genius that he is, got offered a job at Google in California.  I'm sure going to miss these guys.  :-(

Friday night, we caught one of the the last ferries to Anderson Island.  We spent the weekend with lots and lots of family.  

Saturday we went to the Salmon Bake and roasted marshmallows at the fire pit.  The only thing missing? A guitar and campfire songs.  Where was Sean when we needed him?

Sunday was the 4th and we could not wait to see how Roderick would respond to the fireworks.  He was totally captivated and could not get enough of the bright colors.  He was up WAY passed his bedtime and although he wanted to sleep so badly, he managed to keep one eye peeled.  I think its safe to say he is a lot like his mom in this way... he doesn't want to miss anything.  What a great weekend!

What a horrible view

Look who has his own chair

If you wonder who actually buys these diapers- it's totally me. I just had to try them. Look at that butt!

Grandma had the guys moving beds all over the place.  Check out Harv on the 4th of July
