"Oh mom, this is so much fun".

We had many activities planned for our weekend of the Fourth of July. On Saturday we toured the "tall ships" at the Hammond Marina. The Nina and Pinta replicas were on display there. It was very warm that day but we beat the heat. Ella loved the balloons at the Yacht Club at the Marina. And Ella was a hit among the people there.

On Sunday, July 4th, we took a road trip to St. Joseph, Michigan in the morning. We love that town...so vibrant this time of year. I highly recommend a visit if you are ever in that area. On the way back, we grabbed a burger at Redamaks before heading to Crown Point where we were going to watch the parade in the afternoon. It was sooo hot outside that I decided it would be best not to subject Ella to the heat. We drove to Long Beach at night to see the fireworks. Ella was wiped out from all the action!
