This weekend we went up to Tomahawk (my hometown) for the 4th of July, which we spend with my dad and brother every year. Usually we camp at our land on the Tomahawk River, but Joe and I thought we'd better keep it simple this year, and stayed with Grampa Ken and his friend Grace at her house. It's hard to see in the pic, but Fischer's bib says "Baby's First 4th". Grampa Ken was very pleased to see how much Fischer's grown and how quickly he's developing. Fischer did a little cooing and "told some stories", and we've even gotten a couple of quick smiles out of him (still unsure whether they're from gas or on purpose). When he gets more in the habit, you can bet we'll be posting his great big grins on the blog! Grampa looks forward to showing Fischer around up north and going for some tractor and loader rides!
On Saturday, Fischer and I went to my high school friend Angie's house for her 30th birthday party. We got to see a few other high school and college friends and their significant others. It was a good time, and Fischer was very well-behaved.
The night of the 5th, we drove out to White Lake for their fireworks display (we were too tuckered out on the 4th to see them in Tomahawk). For years, Uncle Nate and his friends have been going to White Lake, tailgating all day, and watching the awesome fireworks display at night. Thousands of people go to see it. This was the year we finally made it! However, we're sorry to say, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment because it only lasted about 20 minutes! Oh well. The big booms didn't bother Fischer (although they annoyingly set off someone's car alarm repeatedly!), and he seemed interested in the bright lights. Not too shabby for his first fireworks.
Now that we're back in Green Bay again, it's all about keeping cool. Looks like we're going to be hanging out in the basement and/or our air-conditioned bedroom again. Who says wearing just a diaper isn't a fashion statement?
