July Fun

On July 3rd Jacob and I went to a neighboring town's fireworks celebration. That's what the above photos are from. I had no idea he was making that goofy face in the photo of the two of us. I actually took a decent photo and the kid gets goofy. What a nut!
Then yesterday we went to the local festival. Jacob rode rides that he was too scared to ride before. A couple examples are the swings and the tilt-a-whirl. He loved them both so much that he rode them each about 8 times a piece. When we got home, we were so hot that I thought it would be fun to have an impromptu water gun fight. Here's a few photos from that:

This will give you an idea of what it's like inside a bumper car with my munchkin. I held my foot on the gas pedal, he did the steering. Here's the result:
Jaocb rode the the Tilt-a-Whirl for the first time, two times in a row. He really enjoyed the first ride. Here's what he had to say after the 2nd ride.. which my parents showed up during so they were there for this interview.
His first response to me, which I didn't get on film was, "I wanna go home!" When we did leave, not long after this, on the way home he said that this was the best day ever. Loved that. My boy is the best. :)
