Our Fourth of July Weekend of 2008

It was a happy anniversary for us.  Bruce and I have been married for seven years now.  We went to the lake for the holiday weekend and had a blast.

The boys enjoyed ridding the tracker, driving the mule, fishing in the pond, discovering all sorts of critters like turtles and bugs, playing at my brother's with all the other kids, and experiencing all the fun at the lake.  We are so looking forward to coming back.  
When we first arrived, Aunt Jackie took the boys on the mule (small motorized vehicle) and Uncle Bill took the boys on the big tracker.  They were so excited.  I took some video and pictures but for some reason I cannot retrieve them from my camera chip.  Lucky I have some photos on my phone.
Bruce tried to take the boys fishing, which I thought was hilarious.  Imagine four extra busy hands holding a fishing pole.  After a few fish took off with the worm, they final caught a couple of little fish.  Decker was more interested in the bobber he called ball and Baily was more interested in the fishing pole mechanism that is was difficult to get a good photo of them holding their first caught fish.
Though we never had the opportunity to go out on the boat, I was glad Bruce went out on the lake with the jet ski while the boys took a nap.  The lake was very busy with lots of boats and fun, which made the water very choppy.  We look forward to going out to the lake again so we can spend time out on the water with the boys and the water toys.
