My hope is that I can make this different for the Goose. I'd love to create years of memories and tradition that he'll always look back on. Unfortunately, this year couldn't be the start of such grand traditions because of poor timing. M had to work and had no way to get out of it. And other family and friends weren't really around to make anything big out of the holiday. So me and the Goose hit up one of my closest friends "poolhouse" (aka her parent's waterfront casa with a pool). We kept it simple (no drinkies, no sparklers) but had an overall great day. Though I wish the Goose could've, just for one time, ditched his early bedtime so he could've seen the fireworks. We weren't even close to making it, but I was still so sad that he didn't get the firework "tradition" part of his first Fourth. Next year I'm going to consider pumping him full of sugar to keep him up if need be, haha. Just kidding. Maybe.
Anywho, here's some pics from the day. Almost all of which are of the Goose. Doing nothing.

Oh, and remember in this post when I told you I made this cake:

Well, here's how it turned out:
A little burned, but overall I impressed myself and it was delish. And all it took was a little-a-this:

Perhaps my american flag cake could be our Fourth of July tradition?
