Celebrating the 4th

We have been so fortunate to have GORGEOUS summer weather here these past few weeks, and the 4th was no exception! We spent the day in boat, after shooting off fireworks at our house the night before. Grandma Carol and Cameron came down to share the day with us, as well. Here are some pictures from our boating excursion.

First, Halle - with her thumb in her mouth - sits on Daddy's lap...


Brendan shows off his new life jacket...

Because the temperature was in the 90's and the sun was intense, Cary jumped off the back of the boat and into the water to cool down...

Before going on the tube we wanted to be sure that Brendan could trust in his life jacket. Here he practices floating with Daddy's help...

He's got it down!

Halle's turn!

And, they're off!

What a great day!
