Happy 4th of July



We had a blast on the 4th of July! Sarah, Lucy, and Jack were still with us. Nana and Papa helped corral all the kiddos and celebrated with us. Brent, Misty, Anna and Garrett were with us for the parade and lunch. The morning started with fishing and then a fun little parade that went right in front of our house. The kids got lots of candy from the little parade and loved it.



After lunch and nap time, we loaded up on the boat and headed out to the Noodle Float for the Guiness Book of World Records. It was so fun! There was lots of dancing on the boat and Mark enjoyed sleeping on Papa.


We then had a great dinner, decorated a cake and cupcakes (Nana is the best!) Kate literally sucked the icing off of hers - very impressive technique.






After dinner we had fun with sparklers and then all my kiddos went to bed!








My parents graciously offered to stay home with my kiddos and we headed to the boat for an amazing fireworks display over the lake. Darin joined us and we all had a fantastic time. Want to come to our house for the 4th?

Happy 4th! We went to Eureka for the weekend and stayed on the lake down there - the kids had a great time. We have to get together soon!

Lisa,
How fun! Happy 4th!

Everyone looks so happy in the pics. You are one blessed momma, wife, daughter, cousin and friend!
And me too... sometimes I think about us hanging out at MCC wondering how life was going to turn out. Better than we could have hoped for, huh?
Love ya! Hugs to everyone,
Jill
