Boom!

This year we spent the 4th at the lake and had a blast.  We went out with Tula, Pop, Uncle Rett, Aunt Ashley, and Ben.  The weather was gorgeous, and we got to spend some nice time relaxing, eating and shooting off fireworks.  Here are my two patriotic cuties. 
 

 
This is the first year we have done fireworks with the kids, and Luke was very into it.  They were very excited about their purchases. :) 
 



Once it was time to shoot them off, Luke wanted to do everything, but was very patient, and obeyed all the rules of firework safety. Ben stayed at a good safe distance with Uncle Rett, and Audrey was trembling with fear in my arms on the porch. Poor girl! 




Our two kids LOVE swimming and can't get enough.  This trip, Ben really warmed up, and was swimming like a little fish by the end of the trip.  He did awesome!



Once it got dark we got the "real" fireworks out and had a great little show by the lake.  The little kids were asleep, but Luke got to experience it for the first time.  The "big ones" scared him a bit, and he wasn't too sure about this sparkler.  
 

On the last day of the trip my sweet son decided to pick flowers for all "the girls".  Mommy, Tula, Aunt Ashley, and Audrey all received a flower from him.  :)

 
 
The fourth wore this boy out!
 


We actually forgot our big camera for the fourth weekend (gasp!), so all the above photos were taken with my phone.  Here are some random shots from a previous lake weekend prior to Miss Rebecca's arrival.


I guess the fire was a little hot, notice how Luke moved his little chair back. :)


 
 
Luke was so inspired by the fire pit, that he decided to make his own. 
 
 
We were there during the super moon!  Pretty super if I say so myself!
