Sponsel Family Vacation, Volume 2

Happy 4th of July! We had a great day on the beach and then capped off a beautiful day with a pitch in dinner and fireworks. We also squeezed in some family photos in our 2012 Sponsel Family Vacation t-shirts!

and Maddi, too!

We had so many cameras trying to get Grandma Dottie and her great grandkids.  Ali melted down about 15 seconds after this shot, so it's the best one I got.  Aunt Mary Beth was still trying to stage the group. :)

It's a distance shot, but it's the whole clan.  Very blessed to have such a fun loving group of people in my life

My little patriotic man!

Mr. Max...he may have one of the sweetest smiles ever!

I have several attempts at a good picture of Sophia and Brock, but the only time they remotely slowed down was when they saw themselves in the mirror.  :)  They are only two days apart in age and I have a feeling they will be buddies in the years to come.

We had a great view of the fireworks from our condos!
