Other 4th of July pictures and deets

The 4th of July is probably my favorite holiday aside from Christmas.

Year after year it proves to get better and better as you saw in my last post.

As you all know, this is was a weird 4th of July though because it fell in the middle of the week!

Even so, we decided to celebrate like it was a weekend!

As I mentioned, we all went to my in-laws house on High Rock Lake.

She had the place decked out!

 We spent much of our time on the boat and in the water.

And, of course I'm always annoying everyone with pictures.

 Including our nephew, Reed.

 This is my favorite from the holiday.

It deserves to be in a frame. 

 Buddy is never forgotten.

Poor pooch was still tired from the camping adventure!

 But, he still managed to smile with his grandmothers!

 Our 4th of July ended with a bang as we watched the fireworks show on the water from the boat.

A wonderful 4th indeed!!

4th of July Recap

Super busy here now that the holiday is over but a quick post and pictures from our weekend. We stayed up at the in-law's lake house instead of coming back to Charlotte.

The weather was perfect -- 80's, sunny with a breeze. We spent the entire weekend outside playing in the water, boating and sitting on the dock sipping a few.

Our usual pontoon shot.

The kids(niece and nephew)enjoyed playing in the water and being outside too!

That is.....until you get a splinter in your foot because you're walking around without your Crocs on!!

LOL!! Classic picture! I've seen a few that my parents took of me back in the day that resemble this.

Not having it.. oh.. well.. the splinter stayed.

Later on the little monkeys got cleaned up and ready for some 4th of July action!!(July 3rd style). Buddy did too(see in the back)..but he was more about sniffing at that moment.

Then.. on the actual '4th of July' I took it upon myself to ride the intertube behind the ski boat. Keep in mind........

This was the first time I've done this since probably high school or college. Good times fo sho..

BUT... between getting thrown all over the place on a tube + riding the jet-ski for an hour in rough water = A VERY SORE DEE!

I am so not young anymore. I could barely get out of bed yesterday. Maybe I need to workout more?

Getting some love from Paige...

Love from Buddy...

American style dinner. Hot dogs and burgers..

And later.. shooting off more fireworks. The kids were a little scared here and there.

Late night boat ride to see fireworks. I might get in big trouble if certain people were to see me with this Hokie Jersey on. That's okay -- we root for both - LSU and VT in our house!

How was your 4th of July??
