4th of July at the Lake & At Home

We spent the 4th at the lake ~ Dashiel's first time to the beach!  He was ok with hanging out in his little swimming pool until his diaper had reached max capacity with water, then he squawked a little.  He had a good time just laying in his pool, hanging out.  He even fell asleep in there!

Jaxon has gotten to be such a big kid since last year ~ he practiced his swimming, walked out to the end of the dock in the water by himself, and jumped off the dock.  When I said something to him about it, he said "Well yeaaaaa.  It's not like I can stay little forever!"

 Sleeping in the pool!

 Jaxon's first sand castle :)

 Writing his name in the sand ~ he's getting better! 

 On the way home from the lake, Jaxon asked if we were going to blow up anything when we got home, so he and Daddy went to get "just sparklers."  When they got back, Jaxon came in the house and says, "Mom, Dad says you'll be mad if I tell you we spent lots of bucks on stuff to blow up."  Typical boys! Jax loved watching the fireworks, but didn't even want to hang onto his sparkler until it went out.
