Independence Day

This Independence Day we celebrated Elkin's first year as a US Citizen! Not surprisingly Elkin thinks that every flag is a flag to tell the race cars to race. Here he is with the little flag we bought him earlier in the week.



Elkin & Papi wore matching shirts - I may be a little biased but don't they look cute!?



Before we indulged in the wonderful dinner that Papi & Grandma made, Elkin helped shuck the corn from James & Rebecca's garden so we could have some for dinner.



We also picked some of the beautiful zinnias from Grandma's garden.



After dinner we all had fun playing with Elkin's new sprinkler!

Here's Grandpa & Elkin...



and Papi, Elkin & Rebecca.



We ended the night with some fireworks which Elkin LOVED! He was a little scared of the dark and the bugs but thought the loud noises and bright lights of the fireworks were great!
