Happy 4th of July

We had a great Fourth despite Emma's cold. We went over to West Seattle in the morning to join the Boyers and some friends in the West Seattle Kids' 4th of July Parade. It was literally 2000 kids and parents marching down the street to a park. Then it was back home for naps. After naps we hung out with Auntie Kendra and played with Pop Its and party poppers. That was the extent of our fireworks here. Chad went and got us a couple live lobsters for dinner. It wasn't quite the same as the lobster bake we had last year on Martha's Vineyard, but the lobster sure was good. The girls didn't know what to think of the lobsters. Emma was okay looking from a distance. Madi enjoyed looking and kept saying "Bye lobsters!"

Bye Lobsters!

This is just a tiny clip of Madi saying "bye lobsters".

This morning when she woke up she wanted to see the lobsters in the sink again. But they weren't there anymore. Mmmmm, yummy in my tummy!
