I just LOVE celebrating The 4th of July in Frankfort, MI. They have such a wonderful small town atmosphere, yet each year they hold their fireworks, on the beach, after a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan. This year's celebration didn't disappoint! The morning was filled with delicious donuts from the bakery while watching Lauren take in her first parade. Then we spent a few hours on the beach, digging in the sand and watching Lauren, Uncle Jon and Daddy swim in the lake. After an afternoon of naps for the girls, we traveled back to Frankfort to watch the fireworks. What a perfect summer day!
Papa and Annie watched the parade together.
Aunt Stephanie and Mammie helped Lauren understand the concept of picking up the candy after it was thrown from the floats. It didn't take Lauren too long to catch on though.
Of course, what's a small town celebration without carnival rides? Lauren was able to pick one ride to go on and it looks like she enjoyed her choice!
(Thanks to Aunt Stephanie for all these photos. Something happened to our camera so until I am able to get it fixed, we might not have as many updates.)
I just loved Lauren and Annie's 4th outfits! You are welcome for the pictures!
