fourth of july trip to the cottage...

we headed up to door county to spend part of the holiday weekend at the cottage.
max and i arrived on saturday afternoon.
we quickly got changed and headed down to the beach.

what a handsome dude!

look at those fingers and toes! :)
the sand was VERY hot. we hung out under the umbrella for a bit.

max enjoyed sitting on the chair and watching the water.
once he got antsy, we headed inside to play and explore.

hey up there!

what a little ham...he felt the need to pose on this bed.
while we were playing, aunt linda called to tell us they were in front of the cottage on the boat.
they told us to pack up our stuff and head to the dock and they'd pick us up.
we were excited to get to go on a boat ride!

goofball!

it took him awhile to get used to the life jacket.

i don't think he was trying to show me his crackers...i'm guessing(hoping) it was just excitement! :)

me and my boy!

lindsay and evan...enjoying the sunshine.

just some precious pics on the boat...



after we got back and had a bath, max helped evan shuck the corn.
this was a pretty sweet moment!



on sunday we went to church, had lunch, napped, and then headed to bailey's harbor for drew's gig.
dada showing max some of the gear on the stage.

max was most excited about the drums.

drew managed to distract max long enough to get him off the stage and back to our table.

we enjoyed a very yummy dinner and some great music!

then it was time to DANCE!

he was such a little ham. using those shakers and moving around. it was so hilarious.

he was so into the music, the band, and the crowd.

(just a really neat picture of lindsay and uncle bill)

max got in a dance with lindsay.

bill wanted to get a shot of us with the water and band in the background.

on monday, drew, max and i got some family time in! we went for a walk, packed up our stuff, and got ready to head into town. max took his first real digger and got a bit of road rash on his chin! he had his 2 year old pictures scheduled for wednesday, but because of the wound and an owie on his bottom, we figured it would be best to postpone.
we headed into sturgeon bay and walked around. drew and i had coffee drinks and max got a "moovie" (smoothie).
even though we didn't get to see any fireworks this year, it was a relaxing and fun filled weekend.
