July 4th, 2009

In addition to celebrating our Nation's birth every 4th of July, we also get to celebrate Grandpa Bill's birthday! We decided to take Liam on his first road trip and headed down to Pennsylvania to celebrate (and to hang out in the pool). Some highlights of the weekend:

Liam - ready for some pool action, flip-flops and all.

Liam and mom swimming - he really loves the water but the weather was abnormally cool so we didn't stay in the water long.

All decked out for the festivities!

We decided to get Bill tickets to the Phillies game for his birthday. Unplanned, Grandma Marie had gotten Bill and Liam Phillies hats for his birthday!!

The gang at the Phillies game. It was a great day for a baseball game and they won! Liam also got a certificate for attending his first Phillies game. Six weeks isn't too young for professional sporting events, right?

Other highlights that I don't have pictures of:
Will riding in the backseat with Liam the whole way to PA
Grandpa dancing with Liam to patriotic music (I do have video, I should learn how to post it)
Intense tailgating at the baseball game
Philly Cheesesteaks after the game
A fantastic pool-side Sunday afternoon BBQ

Liam was a trooper - he was excellent in the car. He may be rethinking the decision to behave so well because this was only the first of several roadtrips in July!
