[July 4] Happy Birthday America!!

This year we spent 4th of July at my parent's house. We swam and had a BBQ and lots of good food. We blew up all the inflatables in hopes to lure The Choob into the pool. Grandma and Grandpa brought out the squirt guns and the fun began.
Choob is allowed to do whatever he wants at Grandma's house. This includes standing on the table and shooting people. Gotta love it!
We made the transition to the pool (actually he has NEVER been in the pool, he will only attempt the spa) and Choobie eventually got more than just his feet wet. Hooray! It helped that he had his guns, sharky, dad, and the secret ingredient: Uncle Jeff.
My boys in the water.
Uncle Jeff has been giving Choobie his own version of "swimming lessons". All of his teaching methods are unconventional, but they work! Here is Jeff doing the patented Air Jaws maneuver. Choobie opens his mouth and pretends to eat seals in the Ring of Death as Jeff launches him out of the water. Graphic some might say, yes. However, I approve. Whatever it takes to get my baby's hair wet. As far as I'm concerned, Uncle Jeff is magical with Choobie in the water.
Two of Choobies favorite things:
Lays Potatoe chips.
And swinging on his "park" with Grandpa.
Happy Birthday America! You are the best country in the whole world!
