July 4th-Off With A Bang

We went up to Mimi & Papa's lake house this weekend for the 4th.  We had a fabulous time and the kiddos were just so sweet together!  They just get more fun all the time.  Jillian became quite the little minnow after we made her a proper little "Motor boat" (a trick we learned in swim school).  She was happy as can be tootling around the lake.  

The fireworks started off a bit scary, but one she learned to "plug" her ears we were good to go.  We did have a bad moment when we gave our little angels sparklers and then we all acted surprised when Jillian burned Nicholas.  Sorry about that, Nicholas.   Poor little guy.   

Of course we got to do lots of fishing this weekend.  Daddy  Jillian got a new Barbie fishing pole for Father's day.  There are lights on this thing people.  What girl doesn't like flashy stuff?  




We caught quite a few fish and our little buddy had no problems lipping that fish.  In fact, she stuck her thumb so far down that it came out a gill once.  We are so proud.  



Lake house from the dock.  A little slice of heaven.  

Oh yes, they look angelic, don't they?  Aunt Christie hooked us up with matching shirts to make it extra festive.  They are so cute together it just melts your heart.  Trust me.  



To top off this weekend, the kiddos even shared an air mattress without incident.  I guess it helps that they were so tired they couldn't see straight.  Cousins are so much fun!
