July 4th Weekend

After having our 8½ hour trip turn into 14 hours on the road, we finally arrived at the family's house for our traditional July 4th reunion. The weekend itself was loads of fun, and very relaxing. We ate too much, got a lot of sun, played until we fell into exhausted slumber and didn't want to leave. In general, we had a wonderful time. Here's hoping it was a great weekend for everyone! Happy Independence Day, all!


The mini and her cousin L.K.A. in the tube.







Ha! She even crosses her legs like me! Here we are after an afternoon swimming in the lake. Baby boy didn't come on the boat and Daddy stayed at the house with him - it was just Mommy and the mini (along with the rest of the family).





Here she is IN the tube with another cousin, P.E.A. The two of them were chatting the whole trip and just loved being together. Considering they are four years apart in age, they are truly great friends! I hope they stay that way forever!





The mini's "joker face."








Aaahhhhh.....Baby boy is taking a nap with his Buddy on the sleeping porch. They are just too cute!
