Every 4th of July we head to Grandma and Grandpa Friedrichs for lots of food, fun and family togetherness. John, of course, finds plenty to keep him busy . . .

He dug in the sand and water and rode the dump trucks and loaders. How fun is that?

Plus he made sand castles and dug really deep holes.

And he had a blast playing with his 3rd cousins, Ava and Addy.

One of my favorite pictures from the day of three checking out the water.

And Nathan enjoyed hanging out with Mommy on a blanket in the shade. He was all smiles! The day was so much fun for the whole family.
