4th of July: Part I

We're happy to report that our first family vacation was smooth sailing!  We were a little unsure how Lily would do in her carseat for a 4 hour trip but she did AWESOME!  We were even able to pretty much keep her on her normal feeding/sleeping routine, which can sometimes be tricky while traveling.  Success!

 On Friday night, we drove down to Seymour and stayed with my parents.  We sat out by the firepit and lit sparklers and enjoyed each others' company.  Lily got to cruise around in Grandma Connie's

On Saturday morning, we left bright and early for St. Louis to visit my mom's side of the family.  We were excited to introduce Lily to everyone and catch up with all of our relatives.  Halfway through, we stopped so I could feed Lily and just take a little break from the car.

We arrived at Uncle Jim & Aunt Mary's to find Lily still sleeping - she slept almost the whole way!  Trust me, this is typically unlike her.  Her cousin MacKenzie was born on June 16th and came a little early so being a preemie, Lily looked HUGE next to her.  It was fun to see them together.

Beautiful fireworks to end the day!
