Celebrating the 4th of July

This year the boys and I headed to Beloit, WI to celebrate the 4th of July.  Sadly Chris had to work again this year.  We met our friends the Schmidts there.  It is a great little town, and we watched the fireworks from their nice little park on the river.  There was a playground right behind where we sat, so it was ideal!  Weather was perfect as well.  Matthew loved watching the big "booms" in the sky, and even little Jacob just sat on my lap and chilled out watching them as well.  He even fell asleep during the grand finale!  Both boys were such troopers and did great throughout all the festivities.
