Independance Day

We had a great 4th of July weekend! It started Friday afternoon when we went out on my uncle's boat. There were several of the family that went and it was so good to see Uncle Ernie too!
Here is a picture of Cole just as he got on the boat, he was excited to go.

When we first got on the boat Cole seen this inter tube and he said, "I AM NOT GETTING ON THAT" and he almost started to cry because he thought we were going to make him. He finally decided to take a ride with his dad and ended up having a LOT of fun!


There were so many of the family that wanted to go out on the lake and Uncle's boat was not big enough. So he had to take 6 of us at a time to a little area and we all had to wait our turn there to go out on the boat. Anyway while we waited, Cole, Jack and Trent played some ball. Of course Cole won, "86 to 2." :D


Didn't get a picture of me and Jack on the inter tube because we were on it all of 20 seconds before Jack tipped us over. I told them from the beginning that if I tipped I would not be able to get back on the boat. Well it was a sight watching them try to pull me out of the water back onto that boat. I spared everyone of posting those pictures. But I finally got back in the inter tube and I went for a ride. It was fun!


Just a picture of Cole in the lake that I adored. It's kind of "abstracty." I am going to get together all of the good "abstracty" pictures I have of him like this. I LOVE THEM!


Another one of the "abstracty" ones I love.


Once Cole got the inter tube hooked to land he played survivor.


Then he had a lot of fun jumping off of the branches into the lake.


Cole was holding a HUGE stick in the air.


OK, another picture that I just love. I HAVE TO SHARE THESE PICTURES!


On the way back home Uncle let Cole drive the boat. Of course Uncle had to sit there with Cole but at one point Cole was actually doing it all by himself. Cole was steering and Uncle taught him to press the button hard for the gas and how to let off. He ended up racing another boat, COLE LOVED IT!

On Saturday we went to a cookout at my Aunt Phyllis' it was good. We left there and went camping. We got a late start and it was the weekend of the 4th so we had a really hard time finding a spot. Well we finally found somewhere to put down our tent. I didn't get any pictures but after about 2 hours of work we finally got the camp site set up with a fire and all of our chairs and the tent, we were ready to go. Well the police showed up, about 5 to be exact, the people above us were getting in trouble. The police come to see what we were up to, which was a bunch of nothing. Just making smores and fishing. Then they spotted our tent and made us take it down. They said there was a sign posted and we could hang out but we were not allowed to stay the night where we were. So we packed up and went home. 3 hours of camping, then we went home. We were sad.

Sunday was busy! We cleaned up the garage and turned the spare room into Cole's bedroom. If anyone knows the shape the garage was in (after 2 family's house fulls of stuff), the garage was a disaster! But it is finally somewhat organized.

It was a good weekend.
