Happy 4th!

We spent the 4th of July bumming around with Stacy in the morning. She and Ryan played a bit of Wii together. When the game is over, he says "Let's do it again!"
Then we drove to an outlet mall about 45 minutes from her house..a VERY good one! But, both the kids had meltdowns, so it was the FASTEST outlet mall trip the Harriss household has ever experienced. Ry apparently beat up some kids in the MacDonald's playland. Jeff was there with the kids while Stacy and I were hitting the JCrew, Gymboree and Gap. Those were all the stores we made it to! Stacy did make a quick trip a little ways down to the Banana, too, but that was it!

After that, we drove out to the Long Island campground (another 40 minutes further drive) away where Jeff's parents are working this summer. Papa takes Ry, Stacy and Julia for a ride on the golf cart to see the park.

Ry walked SLOWLY up to this fake deer, thinking it was real.

Ry was UBER excited about the firework display!

Aunt Stacy, Ry and Grandma by the ocean.

Our little guy does not like to keep his pants on anymore, and today wasn't an exception. As soon as we walked down to the water he started stripping down!

Julia was TOO cranky to hang out by the water, so we ended up walking her back to camp and trying to put her down to bed (unsuccessful!). She did get in a MUCH better mood, however. Maybe our girl just doesn't like the ocean!?
