I really love the 4th of July. I love the idea of big BBQ’s, swimming for hours, relaxing with some cocktails BUT life just isn’t there for us yet. Having an infant makes all of the above NOT relaxing in anyway! haha But some year we’ll be able to do the dream 4th…someday.
This year all our friends were busy doing other stuff and we were hanging at home. My sis-in-law invited us over for some swimming and the best firework viewing spot around (the top of Day Creek in Rancho).
First I had to TRY and get a cute patriotic pic of the kids….oh dear LORD it was hard hahaha.
Getting 3 children to sit close to eachother and smile is hard work. Someone is always NOT looking at the camera, or their smile is horrendous, maggie’s annoyed or crying because someone is touching her…never perfect. BUT thats ok. We’ll take what we can get these days.
With all the hustle and bustle…I forget that it was Maggie’s first 4th of July…gosh I feel like I made a big ol’ deal for the other kids….buuuut I guess 3rd baby probs means its not always about you…how sad.
Maggie’s first 4th of July. 9.5 months old. 7-4-2016.
Owen’s first 4th of July. 3months old exactly.
Ella’s first 4th of July. 5months old. 7-4-2013
Gosh my babies! Its so crazy.
Anyway…now that I’ve spent the last hour looking back at 4th of July pics from 2009-2016…oh the memories.
We headed up to Yosh’s sisters house. It was actually very nice and chill afternoon.
We walked down and around the street from their house to sit at the ledge and watch all of the inland empire’s firework shows. Its a pretty awesome view. And I swear Fontana looks and sounds like a real war-zone. SOOO many illegal fireworks come out of that city!
Of course…thanks to Maggie’s early bedtime routine we didn’t get to stay all that late. But I sometimes have the feeling about fireworks…once you’ve seen one show you’re good for the year. haha.
It was a great evening and a fun easy 4th of July!
