We spent the weekend of the 4th at Maddi and Zevlen's house and lake. The weather turned out to be perfect, and by some miracle, the mosquitos and gnats stayed away and we came out of the weekend without a single bite! We really couldn't have asked for a better time, lots of fun on and off the lake making memories with family and friends. So a HUGE thank you to Maddi and Zev for hosting us and for providing so much fun for our three kids. And to Grandma and the aunts for helping with those three crazy kids, and for making lots of yummy food to eat all weekend long.
Harlow started out a little nervous on the boats. She sat on my lap and squeezed my hands, wrapping her legs around mine, a little tighter when Jamie would drive faster. But she kept saying she wanted to stay on and that it was "pun" (fun). She got more comfortable as the day went on, going from boat to boat, and eventually even getting in the water with her brothers. The boys loved everything about being on the lake! They loved riding fast in the boats, they loved swimming, tubing, and just floating around.
Off the lake we spent a lot of time on the four wheelers. Maddi and Zev have one and Grandpa also brought his. I think that was probably Paxton's favorite thing to do. As soon as anyone sat on one, he was asking to ride with.
Fireworks was Hudson's favorite thing. Well, I should be more specific, attempting to start fires or things on fire with sparklers. We realized we might have a little pyro on our hands. He was warned over and over again not to start the grass on fire, the box on fire, the tree on fire, himself on fire!
Aunt Vicky made Harlow her own personal pool with a cooler filled with (ice cold) water. She spent all afternoon in that thing and loved it!
Thanks again Maddi and Zev!!!!! We love you and appreciate it so much! See you next year.....
