4th of July at the Lake!



This year we went to Uncle John's at the lake. The girls look forward to it every year, because they always have a blast! Well we got there on Friday and soon were out on the water. The girls loved riding the boat. So did Austin. As long as the boat was moving he was just quiet as could be, but as soon as we stopped to let the kids swim, he would get fussy. So we put him in the water and he would just splash around. After spending all day at the lake we came back to Uncle John's lake house and ate and had fireworks. Although I stayed in the house the whole time they were doing the fireworks with Austin because when I did take him outside he would cry. I guess it was a little loud for him. So the girls and Joe said the fireworks show was nice. We went to bed so exhausted that night. The next day we woke up and the girls were first to put their swim suits back on. We went out for another day on the lake. How much fun it was! Here are some pictures of the exciting weekend at the lake.......... can't wait to go back!


The girls all swimming in the water.

Austin and Bradley with their daddy's! Don't you think they just love their life jackets. They look like they are about to choke in them. Poor baby's!


All the kids got on the tube to play while we were sitting in the water. They loved to jump off of it.



Here is a picture of some lounging on the boat. Abby had to get her smile in there.




Natalie is trying to pull Abby onto the tube with her and Haley. She is having a hard time.





Abby riding the tube all by herself! Not really, but she is posing like she is!






Natalie standing at the top of the latter to the platform. She jumped off once but would not do it again. I wouldn't blame her, I don't think I would even jump off that thing!








But here is fearless Haley jumping off it. She did it once and loved it. You couldn't keep her off there. She would just jump over and over.

Abby fell asleep in Ms. Kathy's lap while we were riding. She was pooped out!
