Happy 4th of July!

A little weatherman told us that it was supposed to rain today, so Randy and Terrie had their annual 4th of July party on Saturday this year. And what a beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful day it was! (And I'm so glad it was yesterday for it's pouring out as I write this post on Sunday morning.)

Our happy hosts!
Amelia enjoyed some quiet time on a raft:
Loving the water on a hot day:
Amelia let Chris take her out on the jet ski . . . and then promptly told him to bring her back in! She's not too adventurous.
Mira was high-flying from Uncle Matt:
Mira and her cousins rode on the Seadoo behind the pontoon:
Jumping off the dock using the springboard:
Just enjoying the view. I love this suit of Amelia's. It reminds me of the bloomers they used to wear in the 1930s.
Amelia and grandpa Randy on the hammock:
Amelia on her third dessert!
Mira's first taste of a sparkler. She was a little unsure of it, like I was when I was a kid.
Amelia tried a sparkler too!
All in all, the weather was beautiful and it was a spectacular fireworks show at the end of the evening. Thirteen boats were docked in our bay to watch our show, put on by Chris's cousin Travis and his friend and a couple other houses. It was the best fireworks show the lake has seen yet!

Many thanks to Randy and Terrie for another wonderful summer holiday. It was great fun!
