Celebrating the 4th



We celebrated Independence Day at the lake this summer.  It was a wonderful few days full of swimming, BBQ, and relaxation.  {And quite a few games of Skip-Bo.} 

Caroline is getting very brave in her swimming.  She's been swimming at the pool some this summer without her floaties, and now she is venturing with this new skill in the lake.  She was even jumping off the pier and swimming to the ladder without her floaties.  She loves swimming and tubing!

The highlight of this year's celebration was seeing the fireworks the city shoots over the lake.  Last year, we didn't want to keep Caroline up that late, so we missed out.  This year, we took the boat out, found a good spot with a view of the ball field from where they're shot, and dropped anchor.  It was so much fun being out there with all of the other boats and enjoying the show, even it was past a certain little one's bedtime.

Show time!
