2019 July DITL: Fourth of July Fun!

We spent the holiday with friends at Lake Bonaparte. It was a hot, sunny day-- perfect for swimming and water sports!


Breakfast number one


Big boys with cereal on the deck

Grown up breakfast cooking away!

CC takes a short morning nap

Heading to the Red Camp in the boat

Captain JP

Little boys and Chad holding down the back seat

Suns out-- time to swim!

Friends with sunglasses

CC loves the baby pool!

Time for some tubing!

Jump!

Even Little J jumps from the diving board, after some encouragement

The ice cream boat drives by, so of course we need to flag it down!

Yum- a cold treat on a hot day

Back to the Red Camp with more tubing

CC goes down for her long(er) afternoon nap

Soon she's up and hungry for lunch! She devours at least 10 ravioli

Then she needs to get cleaned up and cooled off in the lake. She splashes and squeals with joy.

The annual boat parade (2019 theme: Armed Services tribute) meanders past, honking and waving.

More snacks for CC-- cheddar rice cakes, watermelon, and as much hummus as she can sneak into her greedy mouth

Sun's out, Guns out with lawn chairs in the lake

These two boys have been having a great day!

Papa arrives with a trailer load of rocks to rebuild the shoreline, so it's all hands on deck to help with the heavy work!

We head back over to Steps and Decks, and the boys relax with some screen time in the bunk room

Meanwhile, the littles are keeping G-Nana busy!

Everyone is sunburned and tired after a long day in the water.

Mix up a cocktail for the Fourth-- using a British recipe!

House Shot!

L carefully builds a pyramid of plastic men

After dinner, we make a fire and roast some s'mores

CC and Daddy take another dip to cool off

Sunburned and tired out

Before bed, we light some fireworks from the end of the dock and watch the amazing displays from the rest of the lake.
Happy Fourth of July! See you in August.
