4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July! We went over to the Hall's house to celebrate... we had wonderful food, and ended the night with an AWESOME firework show put on by Mark! 4th of July to Mark is like Christmas morning to most people, he gets a high off of letting off fireworks. Thank you Mark & Kristina for a great night.

Ansley's facial expression cracks me up!

Storytime on the Catawba Queen

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to go on the Catwaba Queen  for a story time cruise. It was a 1 hour cruise around lake norman where they had story time, cookies and milk. Jenna, Sherry and I thought it would be a nice change for the kids and we knew they would love the boat ride. Unfortunately, the top floor of the boat was packed so we couldn't all sit up there for story time, but Jenna took the kids up there while Sherry and I stayed on the lower level with the younger kids. And of course, the kids were super excited to have milk and cookies.

Here are some pictures from our adventure.
