fourth of july

It was another Fourth of July at the lake for us!  Amos has realized this year how awesome summer is.  He thought June was pretty cool, that was until July rolled around.  In the car, coming home from swimming, he listed his top three favorite things about summer.  1) Swimming!  2) My birthday 3) Dad's home  and then he added 4) Getting to see our family a lot.  I couldn't agree more!

The fourth was overcast and a lot cooler, but the water was warm.  We shot off some noisy fireworks and then hit the water.

 Silas was a little more cautious, but he was brave eve when he was scared.

Ivan would have lit them all up if we weren't watching him.

The boys tried out some new moves this time.  They were getting braver and doing spin and flip moves off the mat.

Amos came up and said he thought he was dying.  He decided not to do anymore flips into the water after that.

We saved a few more fireworks for after swimming.  We didn't exactly wait until dark, be we were close enough.
