I love the 4th of July... it represents so many things I love about this time of year. Hot sunshine, cook outs, water, family, lazy summer days, watermelon that drips down your chin, the smell of sunscreen and sand. We spent the day at the lake with some friends who own their own private lake (swanky). The kids had so much fun - I had to beg K1 to actually stop and eat and drink something midday.
I don't believe he ever would have left the water. K2, of course, stopped to eat about 5 or 6 times. She is her daddy's girl.
Speaking of B, this was one of his first experiences spending the entire day on the water - fun boat toys and all. Now he finally understands why I reminisce so often about my time spent camping out at the lake. All of those summer weekends add up to sheer joy for me. B tried wakeboarding and didn't do too bad for his first time out. We also had great fun tubing behind the boat and woke up to very sore muscles the next morning (hey, how'd we get so old so soon?).
So Happy Birthday America -- thanks for the sunshine and the fireworks. It was a killer party.
