4th of July

(I'm a little late with this post.) Since we went to the beach for Memorial Day this year, we decided to go to the lake for the 4th. My parents have a house on Lake Martin so we went for the weekend. Its a MUCH easier trip since its only a little over an hour to get there. This would be E's first trip to the Lake. He was 5 months old. This car trip was interesting because we were also taking the dogs. We had Kevin, Me, Easton, Logan, and Wriggley in the car. Not to mention ALL of our stuff; and as you know there is no light packing when it comes to taking a baby somewhere for the weekend. Having the dogs in the car actually helped because when E would start to get cranky he would watch the dogs being goofy and smile. We got there in the afternoon and couldn't wait to put E in the water. Of course the dogs couldn't wait either!



 All dressed and ready for a swim in the lake! I could just eat him up! Ladies love a Speedo on a man right?
E and G

E and Kevin and it just so happen that both dogs were swimming by at the same time so I snapped the picture.

Now we're having a good time! He enjoyed kicking his legs in the water.
 About to head out for his first ever boat ride.  The first of many I know!
We weren't off the dock 5 minutes and I thought E was being awfully still....What do you think is behind those sunglasses?
 If you guessed a sleeping baby then you are correct! I guess you can say he liked the boat ride.  =)
The dogs were IN HEAVEN when we were at the lake.  It is by far their favorite place to be.  They will swim all day as long as someone will throw the tennis ball.  It is so much fun to watch them swim and run around without a care in the world.  I love it when we get to bring them places with us because they are part of the family too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!! Thank you to ALL of the men and women who fought, are fighting, and will continue to fight for our freedom! God Bless the USA!
