July 4th

This year we were invited to Doug's sister-in-law's dad's house on Lake Granbury. We had a blast from the time we pulled up to the house until we left late that night. They have a very nice house that backs up to the lake. Connor's first words out of his mouth was, "Is the second story of the house real or fake?" They have a wonderful area to entertain friends...from a boat dock, to a pool, to an outside kitchen and fireplace...it was posh!

A group of family loading up to go boating.

The back of the house as seen from the boat dock. It looked like a "Southern Living" house all decorated up with flags.

The Kitchen

The kids all by themselves ate an entire watermelon.

Connor and his cousin, David, eating watermelon as it drips all over them:)

Preston stopping briefly for a photo op.

Preston and Daddy fishing. Of course, nothing would bite Preston's line because he was too loud and wouldn't sit still:)

Preston tubing with Uncle Philip for the first time...I don't think he had any fun at all!

Preston taking a breather before the next fun activity. He is starting to get freckles:)

Lovin' on momma!

Grant playing in the pool.

Grant's turn on the tube.

This boy loved fishing...he would have sat there all day!

Two cuties...

The twins fishing...

One big watermelon eater:)

Connor playing with his buddy.

Connor and his cousin, Kaelyn fishing. They could actually see the fish nibbling away at their bait.

Connor and Kaelyn having a heart to heart...

Grant wasn't a fan of the huge fireworks the rich people were shooting because they were so loud!

One of the aunts passed out glow in the dark necklaces to all the kids so Grant shared with me:)

All 8 kids plus 4 of the adults...Is Doug a kid or adult?

As Doug would say..."Good Times!"
