4th of July...overload!!

Warning...I posted about 1000 photos, so be ready to scroll. 

Our 4th of July weekend was pretty incredible!  Tons of swimming, boating, relaxing...lots of fun! 

Our friends came out on Friday to join us on the boat. 

 There was a lot of jumping

 and swimming

 and smiling

 by not only the kids...but the adults as well! :)

 relaxing, trying to "sleep"

 my loves, all dried up and re-energized after a movie break

 and they went straight back to jumping

 gorgeous twilight views

 And the 4th of July...Dylan decided to be the photographer for awhile

 not too shabby Dylan, not too shabby

 Then we celebrated Lauren's 3rd birthday since we'll be camping next weekend on her birthday, and celebrating with my extended family the weekend after. 

 she requested cupcakes

 and I made her do a little photo shoot on the dock, my big 3 year old (to be) 

 a little one on one time with Dylan, fishing for bass

 fireworks with the neighbor boys

 Dan brought out this hammock and it was a HIT with my kids, they loved it! 

 Lauren "reading" to Amy

 and the evening was capped off with some gorgeous fireworks! 

 I was busy perfecting my photography skills, I think I finally figured it out this year! 

 and then we played with sparklers

 and my kids were impressed by me...

 yay!  10:30!! and then it was bedtime :)

Happy 4th of July!
