Happy 4th of July

We spent the 3rd and 4th of July at camp. The weather was picture perfect, and we had an AMAZING time! Grandma and Grandpa Eddie made everything so special...the backyard was transformed into a mini-amusement park for kids complete with 2 swimming pools, a slide, a sandbox, water tables, tents, and lots of "binka-boos" (aka - presents from Grandma).

The Smith family joined us for the weekend, and I finally got to meet my 2nd cousin, Gabe, (we are almost the same age....just a few weeks apart). We had lots of fun crawling around and exploring everything! Here we are hangin' with our dads!

Chase was very excited because he got to see Maggie again (she's 3 years old now), and they played together ALL day long. Chase's favorite thing to do was definitely play in the sandbox, and Maggie spent a lot of time in the pool. But the best part of the day was watching Chase and Maggie run around the backyard squirting each other with water. It was a riot!

After running around most of the day, Chase and Maggie got to go on a boat ride. The life jacket didn't seem to bother Chase as much this year.

Chase and mommy loved the boat ride (even though it might not look like it by the expression on Chase's face).

See what I mean about the weather being "picture perfect." It was absolutely gorgeous on the water.

Thanks to the Smith family for visiting - it was so much fun hanging out with everyone. Can't wait to see you all again.

Happy 4th of July!!!
