Happy 4th of July!

We started out our long weekend with a visit to Richfield fair, where we all rode the carousel - check out how Patrick chose to ride!!! His OWN style!



Then on the actual fourth, we enjoyed the day at Auntie Doty and Uncle Abe's. Elise was so excited to fish - she caught 3 sunnies and was so proud. She was a little more leary than last year when it came time to hold it, however proudly carried the leeches in the car and onto the boat and was playing with them in the boat.



This was one of a few moments where he was smiling in this life jacket. Otherwise was screaming cuz it was choking him or laying on the ground like a turtle crying. He started standing up without holding on in the middle of the floor SUPER proud...walking soon?
