Happy Fourth of July!
I love Independence day so much I wanted to get in the mood a bit and decorated with a few things I had lying around.
We didn't originally have any big plans for today. Luckily things just came together last minute and it was a fun filled day with family and friends.
We started out the morning at church with a pancake breakfast and patriotic hymns. After breakfast we joined my sister Angie and her husbands side of the family out at lake of the pines. Tonya and Justin were kind enough to take our family out for a spin on the party barge. It was the first time my boys had ever been out on the lake in a boat. Emerson seemed to really enjoy the wind in his hair.
Donaven was very brave and jumped out of the boat and went swimming with his Aunt Angie. I was pretty amazed. I can barely get him in the bath tub so this was pretty impressive. Next we made sand castles on the beach, and collected sea shells.
We stopped off at the house for lunch and let the boys rest awhile. Later in the afternoon we went over to our friends for a bar-b-q. The kids had fun playing out front on the slip-n-slide.
There was so much good food and fun!
On the way home we saw fireworks amid flashes of lightning.
Not something you see every day.
The boys are in bed now and I think we may need a day off to rest from our day off...
