On July 4th we started the day with a trip to Canyon Lake for a swim.
On the way home from the lake we stopped to pick up fireworks!
Then we played some games, took some naps, and went swimming again in the river. Colin had watermelon for the first time and he loved it. The girls decided to attack Aunt Angie & Uncle Scot and things really got crazy when all 4 cousins started dancing on the table! It was pretty cute - Luke took some video and I will have to post it later.
Then the fun with fireworks started...yes, we know we are crazy to let a 17 month old play with fireworks but there was plenty of supervision if that makes it any better. Plus he mostly just stepped on those little paper poppers you throw on the ground - I can't remember what they are called but he was obsessed with them, as was Jillian. Last year Colin hated the fireworks and cried and cried (he was only 5 months old!) but he loved them this year. He asked for 'more' at least 500 times!
We were able to snap some group pictures before we left the next morning but not everyone wanted to participate. Some didn't feel they looked good enough for pictures, but that didn't stop me as you can see below. :) We got some great shots of the cousins - I love those little girls and so does bubba (aka Colin).
Our last stop before we headed home was lunch at The Gristmill with Scot & Angie. Colin didn't want anything to eat on the entire table except for one of Luke's onion rings - at least the boy has good taste!
We had such a good time with the whole clan: Honey & Daddy Jay, Granddad & Barbara, Aunt Leah & Uncle Brian & Lauren & Nora & Jillian & Uncle Scot & Aunt Angie...whew, that was a lot of people! We can't wait to do it again!!! Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!
