Happy July 4th!

Today, Zander celebrated his first July 4th. We didn't go to fireworks, although on the 3rd, he witnessed his first 'backyard show' at camp with ones that spray up from the ground in lots of colors. He was scared and cried some, but at the same time, couldn't stop watching them. When I tried to walk away, he just kept watching... So, I figure we'll wait for big ones next year maybe. We did have a good and busy day anyway. We went swimming, and enjoyed all these other things:

Zander had his first sample of Jigger Shop Ice Cream

We're pretty sure he liked it!

Ok, really sure he liked it!

He practiced his walking (almost there- 9 steps or so, and taking off on his own)

Climbed his first set of stairs, and did the "Rocky" celebration after (that's on video)

We also went to visit the Miller's at their campground, where Zander went swinging,

Helped build a campfire,

And enjoyed a nice walk with mom.

Thanks Millers for the visit and a wonderful Fourth of July!
