Fourth of July weekend


It was a crazy busy 4th of July weekend, but we squeeked out 1 day with the Wingate's at Lake Monroe, along with fireworks at night (home and Pioneer Park).

Nolan did GREAT in the lake. We expected him to need constantly holding, but he was an "old pro" it seemed on the noodles & using his life vest! He had a blast with Reece & their constant need to drench someone with cups of water!
Jillian was Okay. But then again, I threw her off the back of the boat into the water. Later, I jumped with her off the back of the boat, so she was a good 5 feet down. Needless to say, I may have scared the ba-je-zee's out of her with those tactics of water entry!
Ashley joined us, as well. She got out of the water for only a couple seconds to lay on the front of the boat. Needless to say, the Wingate's have never had so many single boys swim to the boat! And Jason had to scare away a couple, when they attempted to drive off with Ashley in their boat!
John never left the water once! He could have stayed another couple hours, if the kids weren't "ready".
Me - loved the boat... just not enough to buy one. Sorry to squash that dream, John!

Ended with fireworks at our house & at Pioneer Park. Jillian loved the fireworks & provided the color commentary. Nolan - was Nolan. After the first pop, he wanted to go home.

Aah! Differences amongst siblings! Gotta love diversity!
