Our 4th of July

It's hard to believe that the holiday has come and gone.  We certainly had our share of fireworks, fun, friends, family, and festivities!  

We started off the weekend on Thursday with attending fireworks at one of the local country clubs wer.  Graham enjoyed it so much he slept through every boom:)!

While Gregg worked on the 4'th, he was able to get home early enough to enjoy some lake time before we headed over to a family friend's party.  OMG between the bounce house, dunk tank, and baseball match, Reece had a blast.  Again Graham slept through most of the party:)!  Did I mention that there was Oberon keg and amazing BBQ?!?!

 Later that night we decided to head back home to enjoy the amazing fireworks show on our lake.  

We even managed a little time for sparklers of our own before Reece and I headed out on the lake.  Gregg and Graham, yep they opted out and headed to bed!

 Reece and I agreed that this may have been the best firework display we have seen on our lake yet.  As Reece said, "I didn't even know where to look because there were so many fireworks everywhere!"

Saturday was family day with my sister, brother in law and kids.  We spent most of the day on the boat.  When we made it back to shore the guys took the kids kayaking while us girls BBQ.  We had a slight mishap as there was a small fire on the grille resulting in char boiled steak kabobs.  Lucky we had enough other food that all it caused was some a few stressful moments and a good story to share !  

Sunday was going to be a quiet and relaxing family day, however, the sun came out and as we have learned about living on the lake especially in the summer time, to do lists can wait we have more playing to do.  AND it's always more fun with buddies.

I have to admit, I'm pretty spent.  The house is a disaster, laundry is piled high and we need groceries.  However, in terms of living in the moment and making summer memories, this weekend I think we have accomplished that!  

4th of July is another holiday that reminds me how incredibly blessed we are to have amazing friends and family.
