Fourth of July

We had a really fun July 4th weekend!  We usually go to the family cabin on Smith Lake but this year we changed it up and went to John & Hope's house for the day.
Barrett had the best day fishing his little heart out!  My kids aren't really thrill seekers.  They don't need to ride in the boat or the sea doo or the tube.  The will swim and fish all day long.  

AveryAnn got bit by something the day before and her eye was swollen.  She did not want to ride the tube but she enjoyed sitting on it at the dock.

I love this one of them fishing.  It really has been the sweetest summer.


My kids have hated fireworks for the entirety of their lives.  This year they started coming around.  They loved the little poppers that you throw on the ground and the sparklers.  The girls decided to get dressed up for the occasion.  I hope they are always the best of friends!

Sweet selfie.  Patrick isn't a lake person like most people are lake people.  He doesn't care about tubing, swimming or skiing.  He likes to ride in the boat occasionally and sit on the dock in the shade.  But he loves watching us enjoy all the lake activites.

Enjoying sparklers

Enjoying sparklers. kind of.

On July 5th we decided to try Alabama Adventure.  Patrick hadn't gotten to go with us yet so we loaded up thinking we'd spend a couple of hours.  We ended up staying most of the day.
They all enjoyed a ride on the train.

John and Hope and the kids met us that afternoon.  They kids had a blast playing together.


It was a fun day!  We're hoping to get to go to Alabama Adventure one more time with Patrick before they close for the summer!
