Fourth of July

Ab had several first this past weekend.  First 4th of July, first funnel cake, first sparkler, first 4th parade…..

We tried to explain the 4th to the best of our ability…Rachel told him it was when the emancipation confirmation was signed (apparently we need to work on american history a bit!)

We had a great fourth hanging out at The Frontier Culture Museum (where Bekah volunteers) and then at friends’ house.

Quote of Ab on the fourth:

Ab at the 4th: "Mom, I need to go home, I'm frisky" Me (laughing of course) : " you mean freezing?" Ab: "no, frisky, like when you want a drink!" Me: "thirsty!"

Waiting for the parade to start!

Watching…

Joshua and Rachel watching..I love the look on Rach’s face here

The Frontier Culture Museum Float. Bekah is in the yellow with the white thing on her head. (not sure of the actual term!)

Reading of The Declaration of Independence at FCM.  They also did the toasts afterwards while the crowd shouted “hurrah” after each one.  Pretty Cool.

Games of the time period

 

      

Greg and Ab with ‘Coach Bill’ (from soccer).  This is one of Ab’s favorite people… Ab grabbed both their hands and took off…

This picture is a little blurry but I love his face and eyes…we had just lit the sparklers :)
