July 4th

The kiddos and I had a great holiday at the lake.  We were able to stay three nights.  The last night there they were so tired that D fell asleep on grandpa's lap right after dinner and O put herself to bed.  We had great weather and spent a lot of time outside. 

Fishing in PJs

Riding in the golf cart

Rafting

Dancing like a rock star

Enjoying the campfire

And practicing casting off the porch

We also got some great fireworks from the South Dakota side of the lake.  It was Donovan's first fishing attempt, first time rafting and also his first fireworks, all of which he thoroughly enjoyed.  Add in a few naps, great food, terrific company and a couple gin & tonics and it adds up to a pretty perfect weekend.
