Lake Weekend

Happy 4th of July! We hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! Landon and I enjoyed a few great days at the lake with my family. We had so much fun!!!

Landon before we went out on the lake with Amanda. Landon is quite the wakeboarder. :) He actually was pretty good considering he had never really tried. I was proud! Thanks for taking us out Amanda!
Whitney, Carl, and Kelsey rowing around the little lake/pond behind the lake house. So fun!

Sunset from the backyard of my parents lake house. Amazing every time!

The cousins (plus Whitney's boyfriend Carl). Kelsey, Jen, Landon, Carl, and Whitney.
Love.

My absolute favorite part of the weekend...the golf cart parade. On Saturday morning, everyone decorated their golf carts and threw candy to kids as they paraded through the neighborhood. It's the small things. :)

Kelsey and Jen looking at the chicken firework. It was a dud. Kelsey's mommy is the fireworks queen though, and she supplied us with a crazy amount of amazing fireworks. It did storm like crazy on Saturday (2 inches of rain), but we managed to find a window of time to shoot off the fireworks before we were in danger of getting struck by lightening (for real).
Landon and Dad lighting their tank fireworks for a "tank war." Dad's tanks won.

One of the only pictures we took all weekend. It was hot!

Kelsey and her sparklers. She wasn't so sure of most of the fireworks, but she loved the smoke bombs, the flying bees, the sparklers, and the snakes!

Thanks to my mom and dad for a wonderful weekend! And mom, thanks for cooking lots of very yummy food! Also, thanks to Aunt Kris for being the fireworks supplier. :)
