4th of July

4th of July is always a big weekend for our family.  We enjoy our hometown parade, followed by a day of fun with my high school friends & their kids, and fireworks at night.  Jeremy heads out early to set up our tent, chairs and blankets for the kids, while I get the kids ready and things packed up for the day. The past 2 years Nana and Grandpa have joined us, which I hope is a tradition that continues.

Later that weekend, we headed up to the lake house for more 4th of July fun.  My parents, Nana and Grandpa, and little sis, Emily, joined us.  There was lots of swimming, boating, laughing, eating, and hanging out together. It was the perfect way to celebrate one of our favorite holidays!

Takin' a Break at the Lake

We have enjoyed several trips to the lake this Summer.  To say that the kids LOVE it is the understatement of the century.  In fact, Caleb, who has taken it upon himself to say our prayer at meals, never fails to mention "thank you God for the lakehouse and for Grandpa driving the boat."  Melt. My. Heart.

Looking forward to many more summer memories at the lake, esp 4th of July.  We love watching the fireworks glistening over the lake and being together with both families!
