Happy Birthday, America!

We finally made it down to the lake this year!  It took us until the fourth of July, but we made it!  We got down there Thursday night.  Mom and Dad were already there and we headed to Cookies for dinner.  We then headed back and went to bed.  The next morning we got up and headed to the boat.  We got caught in one HECK OF A RAIN storm!!!  It was raining so hard that it hurt!  When we got back to the dock Peyton said that she made some good life-time memories…..ones that she is gonna share with her kids some day.  HA!!  So I guess getting pelted by rain was worth it if it was a life-time memory for her!!
We headed in and took naps.  The Schuettes then got there and we cooked and ate dinner.  We then headed to Pontiac to watch their fire works.  It was a decent show and the kids enjoyed it!  The next day we spent ALL DAY on the boat.  Everyone had a good, good day!!!  Jack finally officially got up on skis and loved it!  All three kids loved the tube and couldn't get enough!  Once we got back to the house that night and ate dinner nobody wanted to go back out on the boat for Theodosia's fire works.  So we watched those form the deck….and it was just fine!!!!
The kids and adults had a great time and we are looking forward to our next trip down…..

This picture made me laugh.  We had to wait a little bit for a table at Cookies the first night, and I look over all three kids are "reading" the paper…...

 The beginning of LOTS of fun!

 Lots of skiing……….

Lots of tubing……..

 AND LOTS OF PLAYING…...

 And flipping…..
