Fourth of July



We celebrated Everett's second Independence Day with my Dad's family at my Aunt Irene and Uncle Jerry's house in Chamberlain, South Dakota. They have a very nice home that overlooks Francis Case Lake (Missouri River dammed up). Six of my Dad's seven sisters and their families were there. Everett, unfortunately got a case of the "mommies" and if I was around, he wanted me to be holding him. No one else would do! Luckily, while he was napping, Randy and I got out on the boat and he was fine with Grandma and great-aunts feeding him and taking care of him when I was not around.

My younger cousins shot off some fireworks. Much to our surprise, Everett was not scard of the loud "BOOMS" but rather giggled when the fire crackers went off! See video, below.


Everett had lots of fun with some of my cousins that are young, such as my cousin Chase who lives in California. He was nice enough to push Everett on his fire engine. See video, below.

As you can see, this did not work out so well. The video below displays what seemed to work better for everyone!

Love the pics!! Everett has such a cute giggle!

Wish we could have seen him and you over the holidays. Next Thanksgiving, we're definitely staying in the country! (Too much rushing for Christmas when we vacation on Thanksgiving).

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
Love,
