we got home from norway on the third of july and went straight into celebrating the next day! it’s always peculiar to commemorate independence day in the country from which independence was fought for … but we have a good time with it 🙂

this year on the fourth of july i took the boys to meet up with some friends at the v&a museum paddling pool for a little party with american flags and treats. (ian had a friend from his college days in town so he met up with us after!) it was a really fun morning with pals!

 
 
 
 
right around the fourth of july, gabriel started walking! super exciting.

that afternoon, we went as a family to splash in the fountains at somerset house. we all had a blast! after we dried off, we went to our old neighborhood – covent garden – and ate an all-american dinner at shake shack.

i really love the fourth of july. especially i love coordinating red, white and blue outfits for my family, ha! i’ve gotta include the through-the-years photos i shared on instagram stories here…

it was a happy independence day in london!
