4th of July

Lucy's first ever fourth of July - we spent it making pancakes, bacon, and coffee in the morning, napping, and then swimming and hanging out at my parents' house--and later at our friends' house for a second cook-out.



It was a fun, full day.



Lucy loves thrills - like being thrown through the air.  



This is her naptime face.



No fireworks for us this year.



Lucy's too little to be up that late, and even as much of an adrenaline/thrill junkie as she is - - I think the fireworks would still be too much for her.



Maybe next year.  Hmm... next year we'll have Lucy, plus a 7-month-old.  Maybe not.  



My sister has recently re-introduced me to jello molds.  They're yummy and fun!  This one had a coconut layer in the middle.

 

Happy Independence Day!
