July 4 with the Brigade . . .

July 4 fell into the middle of the week this, but that didn't stop the Milam men from making the most of the day . . . we were packed with activities from dawn to dusk and had an incredibly memorable family day . . .

For reasons we neve quite understood, the boys' school was open for July 4 . . . here are the boys, awaiting pickup, showing their patriotism after an elaborate "parade" around the school grounds.


While Daddy and Noel enjoyed lunch upstairs in the playroom with television, Ethan opted for his own "show," electing to have his lunch solo watching the washing machine spin clothes.  100% his idea.

Here we are at the boys' first official movie in the theater, Monsters University.  We were all disappointed to find that we picked a theater where the seat springs were heavier than our 40 lb boys . . . hence the "booster" set and edge sitting in an attempt to compensate.

Officially an hour into the movie - Ethan perfectly perfectly perched, fully engaged, feeding himself popcoron one kernal at a time.  Noelly, on the other hand, gave up on the perching and decided alternating between the laps of Daddy and Pai worked better for him.

After a long swim, here we are enjoying a traditional July 4 family dinner - BBQ.  Not cquite sure who Noelly is making eye contact wiith in the corner. Great end to a lovely day.
