We finally learned that Brea likes the water! She did so much better this trip than any other's cause she could cool off in the lake. And the canopy helped a ton too!
Awesome Brooke, Foster, and Brea
We took the boat out and all jumped off and swam around. It was a blast! I even jumped off a ginormous cliff! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
My boys.
This was Mary's first time to come on the boat. Doesn't she look like she belongs at sea? ;)
The 4th of July started out right with a fun parade down Main Street. Brooklynn and Bubba had fun getting candy with Lexus and Payton. Brea didn't like the sun so we stayed back in the shade of the van. It was a great parade!
Later in the afternoon, we had both of our families and a few friends over for a bbq and to play on the water slide. I was worried the water slide thing wouldn't be happening because it rained for most of the afternoon. But by about 5, the sun came out. The kids were excited to get the slide out for the first time this season. It was so funny to watch them all hurry up the ladder and cruise down the slide--knocking down whoever might be in their path! Their were a few crying episodes but no real damage! 
(I'm really hoping this collage lets ya click on it for a bigger view--the faces are hilarious!)
For the main fireworks of the night, Brooke's family had a bunch of people over at their hangar. This worked out so great since the fireworks were set off like right by us at the airport! It was so fun. They had a dj playing Patriotic songs and even rootbeer and snacks. It was amazing. They are a generous, cool family!
This holiday is one of my fave of the whole year. I am so thankful to live in America! I am so blessed with family and friends and I love spending these holidays with them. Can't wait until next year!

Good times as always! The water slide was defintely a hit, Lexus is still talking about it. She said that was her first time on it so that explains why she was so excited! I thought that she had been before but what do I know. Well thanks for the yummy food and good time! Oh and sorry I left my bowl, I'm kinda loosing it!
