freedom fries

So here are photos from our fourth. We went to Turtle Bay for their family day and it was a lot of fun. Ambrose was happy and good the whole time. I thought he would freak out when the booming fireworks coincided with his bedtime, but he was genuinely interested in what was going on. I caught his eyes wandering over to the lights at these rinky dink booths at one point during the amazing fireworks so I reminded him that he could stare at light-bulbs all day at home, but we had trekked out to Turtle Bay for a reason! He apologetically turned his attention back to the festivities and then we headed home. It was a great night.

T-bomb and S-bomb...


Turtle Bay beach

Thomas has named these appropriately- here are their christian names:


palm tree


willow tree


claws


scrambled eggs


fireflies (also happens to be the name of one of our favorite favorite lawrence arms songs)


before the show- ambrose contemplates patriotism in a world of war and chaos- and is grateful for people who protect peace

By the way- he still wont take a bottle, but we haven't been that diligent these days (due to frustration i am sure) so it looks like thomas may be needing to get another date to see the shins play on the 23rd... we shall see.
