4th of July

We had the best 4th of July! The Grandys had us out to their lake house and the kids (and adults) were in heaven all weekend! It was so relaxing, all the kids got along great, and the weather couldn't have been better! The Gerhausers came too, and Hannah and Ella were perfect playmates! They attempted to have their 1st "sleepover" that Hannah has been dreaming about for months, but I had to break-up the fun around 11:30 after 2 straight hours of giggling.

Saturday morning the kids were up bright and early, so we went on an early morning boat ride. We stopped to let the dads fish for a little bit and Alice Anne decided to take a little dip in the water. Yep, she fell overboard!! Morgan didn't miss a beat...she jumped in after her before any of us could even blink! It gave us all a big scare, but luckily, Alice Anne's life jacket was a good one! Hopefully it taught the girls a good lesson about how important those life jackets are!!

Alice Anne in her wet pajamas and Hannah happy that her sister is OK!

This is what she was doing when she fell in!
Fishing on the dock with daddy
Down by the pool, they have a great little beach by the man made lake. I've talked before about how Alice Anne freaks out when she gets dirty, and the sand was no exception. Her face was priceless when she stepped in the sand for the 1st time. She sat down, realized she was sitting in it, tried to pick her legs up and then froze!! We all got a really good laugh out of it!! It took her a while to be ok with the sand, and then she loved it!!
This picture says it all!!
Alice Anne and Bo had the best time digging in the sand

We called Brett and Richie Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum all weekend. I think the 2 of them had more fun than anyone!! They did a lot of this...
and this...(and a lot of other stuff not suitable for this blog ;)
Alice Anne LOVES her watermelon and she had fun teaching Ryan how to eat it!!
Having a little downtime with Leapfrog games and iphone games!!

Alice Anne wanted to hang with the big girls all weekend!! Yes, she truly thinks she's 3!!
I promise you...this sweet little face is up to no good!!!
Trying to get these babies clean! Yes, my little terror is filling that water bottle up as fast as she can and dumping it in her sisters face...over and over and over again!
Thank you Grandys for a fabulous weekend!!!
