Family Traditions ~ Lots of 4th of July Fun

Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday week!!  Sorry for being so long between posts.  Mimi and I are hoping that the blog will be updated more regularly with more about all the fun we are having around here!  And with three boys in my house, we have a lot of FUN!

As long as I can remember, the 4th of July meant going to Grandma Dee Dee's cabin, playing in the water, going on boat rides, and having fun with fireworks.  Well, this year did not disappoint!  It was so much fun to see the kids enjoy the tradition that my family started when I was a kid. 

The cabin is a great place for boys to enjoy all there is to enjoy about the great outdoors....

Andrew went kyaking, fishing, paddleboating, swimming, and boat riding. 

Jacob loved all of it.  He is Prince Charming after all. At the end of the first day, he told Grandma "This is the funnest day ever!"

Caleb was not so sure about swimming in the water, but he got over most of his fears and swam with me.  Thank goodness because it was so HOT!

 

And my little sister Tara caught a HUGE catfish! 

 

What fun summer traditions have you and your family been celebrating?
