4th of July

Fourth of July this year was great! It was really easy and enjoyable... we didn't HAVE to be anywhere or have too many options of things to do.. this probably comes with being new parents :) We started the day by sleeping in and cleaning the house from the day before (this happens most every morning). Our wonderful friends Christin, Tyler and their son Ryder were in town and staying at their beach house in Carpinteria. We were invited to join them for an afternoon in the sun, how could we pass that up? Ty got to play in the water and I enjoyed a couple margaritas while holding my boy!
Then we headed up to the Mesa and Ty made a wonderful dinner for myself and Wyatt (Ty's brother). We relaxed and had no plans really until our friend Max called and asked us to join them down at his girlfriend Michelle's house right on Shoreline. I realized that there wasn't a stroller in sight so we had to come up with some way to transport our precious cargo... Ty's father took an old stroller that they had about 20 years ago and rigged it up to be a surf board carrier. This WAS our only option, and poor Copper did great. We bundled him up and to my surprise it actually worked out great. There were about a million people down at the park but we had our friends and family and that was the best. The fire works were nice but I couldn't help but think that this time next year we will have a 1 year old!!! aaahhh
