4th of July

The 4th of July was spent out on the lake! What fun we all had boating, tubing, swimming and hanging out on the beach. I of course didn't bring my camera on the boat, but got some pictures of the kids at G'pa and G'ma's house doing sparklers and snakes. Kyle loves those silly snakes, it amazes all the little ones to watch them grow! The crew checking it all out. We didn't stay out too long because the bugs were horrible!

Jack setting up his snakes to light on fire. He had to stack them all up on each other so it made one really big snake.

Kyle doing his sparkler. He really liked doing these this year.

Jack showing off his sparkler. Notice, it wasn't too dark yet, but we didn't want to worry about kids getting burned so we did it early, plus they had been acting over and over if it was time yet. Kayden was tired after a weekend of boating and she was resting in G'ma's bed. (Come to find out later, she had strep throat, and so did the boys!)

The Clean-up Crew

G'pa Chuck was using his Christmas present from us all to clear the snakes off the driveway!

We ended the night by watching fireworks and getting to bed. We had tired kids after a fun day!
