Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend...God bless the USA!!!
What an incredible 4th of July weekend with the kiddos!
Perfect weather allowed us to celebrate our country's Independence outdoors!
Started the weekend off with a campfire on Friday night.
July 4th preparations...
Then Saturday morning it was off to the St. Joseph 4th of July Parade!
Sisters...
Can't help but tear up every time I see the Color Guard walk by...
Everyone was on their feet clapping - well deserved.
There was a float for all Vietnam Veterans...again tears. So thankful my dad survived the war, along with the other veterans who survived.
And realizing that our freedom is not free, thankful for the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we, along with our children, could enjoy our independence.
Roz loved the flag dancers!
Even Santa made it from the North Pole to celebrate USA's Independence!
Carrine is turning into a Parade "Pro!"
Love these three...
Post card material...
The girls loved the Princesses...
and of course Andray loved all the tractors and cars in the parade!
Then it was off to Kays' cabin for the day and a 4th of July Boat Parade
Super Heros at their finest!
Adam...our captain!
Olaf, Princess Elsa, Batman and Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtle!
Was a sight to see all the different boat floats!
Our Princess Elsa decked out for the 4th!
Baby Olaf!
Best friends for life...
After the boat parade it was time to swim and fish off the dock!
Of course there was time to relax in the hammock before lunch!
Classic 4th of July photo opp!
Doesn't get any better than this!
Heath and I joke that Jett and Carrine are a match made in Heaven!
Then we all enjoyed a late afternoon Pantoon ride on the lake...
Our new co-captain Jett...
The babies...who aren't little babies anymore!
Carrine loved standing at the front of the boat with her curls blowing in the wind!
Celebrating the RED, WHITE and BLUE!
Love you Heath!
Back on July 4th 2001 Jake officially joined this crazy crew!
14 years later we're still the best of friends and have added 5 amazing kiddos to "The Club!"
God bless the USA...
