The Fourth at the River


We spent the first part of our Fourth of July weekend at the river with my family (minus The Taylor's in Texas...boo!)

I think this swing may have been our life saver!  Carter slept in it and didn't sleep in it and he was happy!



We had a TON of FUN on the boat...swimming and tubing!  Grace swam by herself and rode the tube almost the entire time!

While we were cooking dinner and taking care of screaming babies, these two snuck off and tried to run away!  Thankfully, her feet don't reach the pedals! Ha!


Poppa made his "famous ribs" again!  Even Carter had got to try some!


Mimi brought a cool new game for us to play or try to play...if we could just figure out a way for our 6+ kids to MOVE! 


Hurry up and play!  Some of the kids are distracted with those snappy pop things!


Andrew and Poppa made us some ice cream and Grace knows how to eat it!  Yum!


Poppa took us out on the boat to watch some fireworks!


We had fun once Carter finally stopped screaming!  Thank you Mimi!!!  You are very snuggly!


The kids played so well together all weekend!  They ended the weekend with a good old fashioned pillow fight! (and there were NO tears!)
