The Fourth of July festivities began last Wednesday when we met up with our friends, the Klemm family, on a trip to the Nationals Ballpark. Miller loves spending time with "Little Abby" (as not to confuse her with Aunt Abby!) and Griffin. And we, of course, love spending time with Kerri, Aaron and both their sweet kids.
It was a hot day, and while we were fortunate to get seats in the club section (part of which is air conditioned), that didn't keep our little guys from getting pretty sweaty! So we spent a good part of the game indoors, eating ice cream and watching through the window.
We were able to keep the kids awake and decently behaved long enough for the fireworks, which was definitely worth the wait. Here are some pictures:

Friday morning we packed up the kids and Winston and headed to the Eastern Shore to spend a couple of days with my dad and Marcine ("Pops & Ciney").
On the 4th we went to Chelsea's in-law's house for a bar-b-que. We had a great time, the boys played with their cousin Alaina and we enjoyed some great food. The wind that day was intense, making it difficult to spend much time outside and cancelling most of the fireworks plans for the evening. We still managed some outdoor time - but the water was definitely too rough for any boat rides though.

On Saturday though, the weather was PERFECT!! We spent the morning in Easton and then in St. Michael's (the boy's first trip there!). The afternoon was spent at the pool and then on a boat ride to the Jetty where we grabbed a couple drinks and the boys played in the sand box. It was a great day, and the boys slept hard that night!
