Awesome 4th of July!

We had a GREAT day yesterday! During the day, we went with our friends Andrew and Hillary on their boat off of Gig Harbor. We of course brought Bennett, who was excited for his first day of crabbing, boating, and sun. The day did not disappoint! We all had a blast and Bennett did great- he didn't get burned at all, loved the water, and even took an hour long nap...we spent almost 6 hours on the boat without incident - I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how the day went! We saw porpoises and sea lions- although I don't think Bennett was really able to focus on that!

After a short nap, we packed up again and went with Andrew and Hillary to his brother's house for dinner. Since we last saw Pete and Jen a few years ago, they went and had a baby too, so Bennett had a blast following around 2 year old big boy, Colin. Colin was kind enough to share his swing, which Bennett loved! Bennett's normal bedtime is between 6:30 and 8:00, so I was watching the clock, wondering how he was still going at 8:45, 9:45...then at 10:45 when we took him to the car, he was out! He really enjoyed the fireworks and I can't wait until next year. Pictures to come!
