We celebrated the 4th of July (aka Jordan's birthday) by relaxing at the park. They have a bunch of acts onstage throughout the day, but the highlight is the San Diego Marine Corps Band just before the fireworks. We got to the park around 3 and found a spot next to a big tree. The upside: lots of shade during the day. The downside: not a great view of the fireworks. But, it was such a wonderful day. We relaxed and ate fried chicken for dinner, plus tons of snacks and apple pie and birthday cake for dessert. The weather really could not have been any better. I remember at one point during the day thinking that I didn't want the day to end. It was just perfect! Claire enjoyed her first fireworks, but fell asleep halfway through. But, at least they didn't scare her. She was a trooper, as always. Hope everyone had a happy 4th!!
Happy grandpa, happy baby
Claire loves her Great-Grandma
The birthday boy turns 20 (the cake has blueberries and strawberries in the shape of a flag)
Yes, he got a princess bag
There was a Geico booth set up and what better way to advertise than to send a giant gecko around the park to harass people
Patriotic mama and baby
Just relaxing (Claire's all worn out)
There's nothing in the cup, but I think she looks adorable imitating the adults
And she decided to help herself to the cheese puffs
The band played some great stuff this year, including Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars. Of course the played the classic patriotic songs as well.
Not the greatest view, but the silhouette looks pretty cool
I didn't get a chance to get a good picture, but Claire fell asleep on my shoulder with her glow stick in hand. It was so cute!
