Madi, Emmy, Stockton, and I were riding on the big tube. Stockton loved it, he was alseep about two minutes into the ride. Emmy was holding on for dear life, while Madi was saying "faster Daddy, faster"! It was a blast.

After that Scott (cousin-in-law) took Sam and I for a great ride, after worrying if Sam was going to fall off and take me with him. I just decided to fall off myself.

Stockton's first time in the lake and he loved it. He just wanted to stay in there all day. I thought it was freezing. I am getting old. Stockton loved jet skiing and taking boat rides.

Sam and Stockton riding the 4 wheeler in the parade. Stockton looks so cute in his new sunglasses that Heather bought for him. The funny thing is, we didn't know that he was alseep half way through the parade because of the sunglasses. He loved riding the 4 wheeler and waving his American flag.

My little girl's first 4th of July!

My sister Heather and her new found lover BEAU (Beauwinkle). They rode on the 4 wheeler in the 4th of July parade on the Island Park Island, while I rode on a float taking pictures. Heather was a great back seat driver! Beau almost got in a wreck, thank goodness Heather was there to save him.

Stockton was too cool for me to get a picture of him in his outfit. He is such a boy, he turned 17 months while we were on vacation. He's growing up too fast.

Makenna was sitting pretty in her 4th of July outfit and swinging in her NEW swing Grandma Longhurst bought for her. She really felt like she was on vacation! Boy, did she love that swing... She just turned 3 months old.
