4th of July weekend 2010

Despite the rainy weather this weekend we managed to have a great 4th of July. We started the weekend off on Friday by riding a camel, yeah a little strange i know but Robert found a fireworks stand that was offering free camel rides. I guess they know what they are doing because they reeled us in with the camel ride and we left with a bag full of fireworks too!


The day of the 4th started off with great weather but ended in a rain storm. We tried to make the best of it and Robert lit fireworks off for as long as he could, we all huddled in the garage and watched him in his rain poncho lighting fireworks.

The champagne poppers were a huge hit with the kids, we'll have to buy a bunch of those again next year! Even Jake got to do one.

Look Mom, i did it!

For the first year Cody dared to hold a sparkler, he was so proud of himself and had a great time

Then the rain came rolling in.....but that didn't stop the fun.

Robert was the seat of choice for the littler kids.

Today we headed to the Hillsdale Lake. We had never been there before so we thought we would go exploring a bit. We ended up having a blast. The boys loved playing at the beach and in the sand. Jake was a little unsure at first but warmed up rather quickly. We were sorry we didn't bring our swimsuits.We will be back to the Lake soon i am sure!

Robert and Cody even got in a little fishing in before it started raining again

It was a fun afternoon at the Lake!
