Happy 3rd of July

So we did our traditional thing for the 4th this year. Gunlock and fireworks at Great Grandma and Grandpa Laidlaws house. Best view in town. And this year they added a breakfast, which was pretty awesome, because any excuse for "special syrup" is great in my book!!

Abs rode the knee board for like 15-20 minutes. ALL BY HERSELF!!! They told Ben to get ready to swim out for her as we left the beach because they didn't think she could do it, but she was awesome!! The only reason she quit was she got splashed in the face (go figure, getting wet at the lake) and she had a pouty face so Jim stopped the boat and she fell in. She got on the boat and said she was mad at him for splashing her, as if he had done it on purpose. Oh, Abby.

This was Jack's first time on the tube, and he loved it!! I thought he was terrified, because it looked like he was screaming the entire time. Turns out he was screaming, "hooray, wahoo!"

Just off the tube, pure happiness

Yeah, I dont know how to flip this picture... But it is Abby's birthday on the 4th and Cecilia's on the 5th so we sing to the birthday girls every year.
