Happy 4th!

We had a big 4th of July week!

It started off with swimming and ice cream at the neighbors house.

Are three kiddos absolutely adore our neighbors.

We were invited to go with some friends to the 4th of July bash at Olde Stone.

Nolan loves the pool there because he can back his boat on the boat ramp. (zero entry pool)

We had a lot of fun with all the yummy food, games, and good friends. 

Nolan dared me to get my face painted. He got the biggest kick out of that. The boys have never been fond of face paint but they sure were excited that I did it. Proud to be an American!

Nathaniel and I ran in the 4k fun run the morning of the 4th. The only entry fee was to bring 4 can goods. It was his first official run. We had stayed out late the night before and it was already really hot at 7:30am. He didn't do great but I was still proud of him for wanting too. 

 We had dinner with friends at the lake and then we were able to meet up with Nat's cousin and family to watch the fire works. These are not great photos since we were using a phone but it works.

We sat on the dock to watch. It is so neat seeing all the boats on the water at night. It's like a little city on the water. 

Wow check out those muscles! 

Nolan got up on the wakeboard all by himself for the first time. I did take some pictures with my phone but it's too bad my phone is at the bottom of the lake. Yea, pretty sick about the phone going overboard.

We also tubed and road jet ski's. I guess since the 4th landed on a Wednesday it kept a lot of the lake peeps away. It was a peaceful couple of days without all the boaters. 

We ended are little staycation at Paradise Point with the best hotdogs ever and some yummy desserts. If you live close and are in the area you should really stop in and check it out. 

Happy 4th!
