The kids had a fun long weekend for Fourth of July! It started on Thursday, dressing up in some patriotic clothes and mugging for the camera...
And then the kids and Daddy came out to cheer for Mommy at a local 5k race.

After the parade, we packed up to go to Grummy and Pop Pop's house at the shore. The boys took the paddleboat out for a spin before dinner:
Saturday morning, the kids were up early and started out with a little weight-lifting:
and playing with toys:
And then the adults got ready for a long bike ride up to the Barnegat Lighthouse. This time, instead of waiting for naptime, we rented a bike trailer and brought them along for the ride!
Once we got to the lighthouse, the kids went with us all the way to the top! The kids liked looking at all the boats motoring around the bay and trying to count all the houses they could see.
After a good lunch at a nearby diner, we got the kids back into the trailer. They switched seats for the way home and I could hear Sean asking, "Clare! Isn't this fun? We switched sides! Are you having fun? Clare, is this fun?"
We spent the rest of the weekend at the beach, playing at the playground, and NOT taking very many naps, which led to this scene when we pulled into our driveway Sunday night:
