We were pretty low key again this year with the 4th. It's hard to believe that last year, Faith was so small that she easily fit inside my little baby sling while we went miniature golfing. Look how big she is sitting on my lap this year! We went for a bike ride on an old railroad line that had been converted into a biking trail. I think we went about 9 miles round trip. (The picture above was taken by Derek. Faith and I sat on the curb while he loaded the bikes and Faith's trailer back into the car.) Then, we did one of our favorite family activities...a scenic car ride around the Kettle Moraine North Park.
We debated about going to see fireworks in the evening, but decided against it. We'd have to wake Faith up, and we thought they might scare her. So, after Faith went to bed, we just hung out around the house. We got a private fireworks show, as it turned out, from our neighbors a couple of blocks behind us. They were setting off some pretty big fireworks, and we sat on the deck to watch them. All in all, we had a great day celebrating our freedom!
