What is better than a day to celebrate the greatest country in the world! And what better way to celebrate than to come together with lots of great family and food!!

This year (as is slowly becoming a tradition) we all went to Chief Timothy park in Clarkston, Washington. We brought stuff to BBQ, swim, play in the sand (we got Kaleb a big sand castle kit with bridges, towers, shovels, the works!) and lay in the sun!! It was a GREAT day!
A happy mother - As most of my friends know already, Kaleb spent many little boy years scared of little things, one including water! My parents brought him water wings and we excited him by talking about the swimming area the entire way there! When we got there, it was the first thing he wanted to do! So Joe and I walked him down to the roped off area of the river and he jumped right in!! We didnt act scared or anything!! He was all the way to his neck in the water, he fell down at one point, and still he just kept on playing! There was another little boy he found a friend in and they played and played splashing eachother in the face and rolling over laughing! I stood in the water (standing back enough to give him his "I'm cool" distance) watching him with wide eyes and trying not to cry. I knew the day would come when he would realize things weren't really scary - but what an experience to watch my baby turning into a big boy! Gahh!
Here are some pictures!
