What is the best part of being a part owner of a lake house? 4th of July parties! It was a blast to invite friends to come enjoy the lake house with us for the day. Tasha, Ricky and their family were able to come as well as Mark, Emily and their kids, the Horstmans, Hiltons and Jurgens.
Emerson wasn't sure about sharing her water table with Abel.
The kids had a blast in the hot tub. Their were more kids in that hot tub that day than I ever thought could fit at one time.
They swam out to the fountain, played on the tubes, used the paddle board and jumped off the dock. This really was a dream come true for our kids.
Carter was chilling in the baby pool.
We had plenty of beverages to go around. If you look closely you can see a sippy cup of milk. Emerson had put her cup in there. It cracked Tasha and I up!
The boys were all too cool for pictures.
Emerson loves swimming in the hot bath as she call it. Since it is so hot out we haven't been heating the hot tub we just let the sun heat it so it is safe for the kids to be in.
I think Carter has a new girl friend. He loves hanging out with Abby!
My girls watching the fireworks from the hammock. Capital Beach puts on a big fireworks show that was really fun to watch. We haven't ever spent the night at the lake house so we told the kids we could stay that night. The kids were excited to stay at the lake house but no one slept good.
The boys at the end of the night doing Roman Candles. Earlier in the night we had a bit of a firework mishap. Bryce accidently lit a 30 shot parachute laying down. The shots fired towards Caleb and Bryce. Bryce burnt his hand a little bit and Caleb had a huge bruise going up his arm from the force of the parachute hitting him. We had a lot of crying and a couple moments of disaster but thankfully no one was seriously hurt.
Emerson cracks me up with these owls. They are to set on the dock to keep the ducks away but she thinks they are real and likes to feed them, pet them and decided to carry them around tonight. Silly girl.
It was a really fun 4th of July this year. It is still a bit surreal having a lake house. That still sounds odd when I say it. It is so fun having a vacation spot just 5 minutes away from our house!
