July 4th weekend started off with some much needed family time at home. We enjoyed being outdoors and cooking Friday and Saturday. It rained off and on, but then this happened Saturday night. A rainbow followed by a beautiful sunset. I always love our house, but nights like this I have to just pinch myself.
Sunday morning we drove to my in laws lake house for a few days.
Ellie just makes herself right at home haha!
It took Bobo a little while to warm up to the dock and lake water, but once he did he was non stop!
As much as Ellie is the leader between these two, Bobo is definitely the driver!
Kiddos love their Mimi and Pop.
We took the boat out a lot and spent most of the time jumping off the dock and playing with all the toys out there.
This picture cracks me up....Ryan wanting to be adventurous and get a work out in....me being lazy and sitting on the front:)
We boated to dinner one night and drank a pitcher of the most incredible cucumber jalapeno margaritas.
We drove home and had ice cream cookie sandwiches outdoors before bed.
Our trip to the lake was only a few days, but we tried to cram in as many activities as possible.
Both Ellie and Graham love tubbing! Thankfully Pop and Ryan took turns doing this.
Ellie helped me make a chocolate chip cookie brownie with festive M&M's on top! She looks so proud and Graham looks like "why the picture...can we just eat it?"
I knew it would rain a little while we were there so I brought a few games and activities to occupy the twins inside. This "road tape" from the $1 isle at Target was well worth the money!
The last day was the 4th and the weather was perfect!
Ryan had to work the next day so we went home for naps and woke up to a neighbor setting off fireworks over the pond. We hopped in the boat and got a little festive with some sparklers before bed.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th!
