Happy 4th!

This year we went to a friend's house up in Lynden for the 4th of July. We had a great time catching up with friends we haven't seen in years.

Kaylee was excited to see cows on the drive up to Lynden, so I figured she'd be thrilled when we got there and found a whole field of cows grazing away. She was too afraid to get close, but eventually we got her to a comfortable proximity and then she didn't want to leave. She just loves cows now.

We bought a pack of sparklers for Kaylee, but I figured she'd be scared of them. I was wrong! She wasn't afraid to hold the sparklers at all, but she wanted us to hold them and wave them around so she could run through the smoke. Silly!




Mt Baker peeked out of the clouds just before sunset...

We left the party just as it was getting dark and people all around were setting off fireworks. We pulled to the side of the road just south of Lynden where we could see and hear fireworks all around us. Kaylee was thrilled. She kept saying "oh WOW!"... but eventually she fell asleep in her carseat. All in all, it was a really fun day.
