Happy 4th of July!!

We hope you all had a wonderful 4th! It's no surprise where we spent our 4th. We left for the lake on Thursday and came back on Tuesday. It was very relaxing and the weather was great! Payton enjoyed her first 4th...she spent most of it either sleeping or laughing. She loved the baby pool, and napped on the boat. Sarah Grace had fun too. She's now one of the "big kids" at the lake. She played with all the neighbors and swam to everyone's docks for a visit. She even went "tubing" behind a paddle boat. She thought she was very grown up. In the evenings she'd go on golf cart "adventures" and pick blackberries with my Pawpaw and bring them back for everyone to try (they were less than sweet!). The whole family came up for the weekend and we cooked out and watched fireworks on the lake. We actually got to see 3 different firework shows this year and they got bigger and better as the weekend went on. For those of you that don't know, there are firework shows all over the lake and people get in their boats and anchor somewhere and watch. One night there were probably 200 boats watching the show...it was really pretty! Sarah Grace enjoyed the fireworks, except for the really loud ones. Although, I think she mostly saw it as a good excuse to get to eat a sucker and go for another boat ride. Well, we're back now but not for long. We leave for the beach this coming Saturday and I'm sure I'll have a lot to show and tell when we get back! Don't' forget to check out the photo gallery for lots of new picks of SG and Payton.
