4th of July at the Lake

We made it to 4th of July at the lake this year. Many didn't believe we would be there because everyone was SURE I'd have the baby early this time...before the 4th of July. But, just like my other two pregnancies...this kiddo wants to stay nice and cozy as long as possible.
The lake is really low so this year we mostly played in the baby pool, did the slip n slide, jumped in the bounce house and played indoor games because it's beastly hot. Oh, and there was also alot of drinking and fireworks involved....but I didn't really partake in either of those activities. Rett was scared of the fireworks this year. :( I did however, eat and eat and eat....there's nothing like good, home-cooked food at the lake.
I have a million pictures to share.....peruse them if you'd like. :)

Finding ways to entertain ourselves:
