Fourth of July

We had an awesome Fourth of July weekend at the lake! We did a lot of swimming, tubing, boat riding, wave running, etc.
We all started the day off early and were already outside by 10am. Zach & Sophie started with the slip n slide. That alone kept Sophie busy for a long while. That and the water hose! Ha! They didn't care too much for swimming in the lake just yet, but the rest of us did.
For lunch, we feasted on hamburgers and hot dogs...the good 'ol American way! :) And later we had some watermelon- courtesy of my sister, Sandra. It was dee-lish!
For dinner we had BBQ (of course).
At nightfall, everyone came over to my parents' house for the fireworks. My parents always go all out and buy loads of fireworks for the kids. Zach stayed out for maybe thirty minutes and he had had enough. Sophie watched for a little while but then wanted to roam around.
We were all worn out by 10 from the long day outside and in the sun, but it was well worth it!
Please enjoy the slideshow of pictures...it only took my two days to upload the pictures! It was soooo slow! :)
