Saturday get together.

Saturday the boys and Kendra slept in and Pat got in around 9am. She wanted to come up and see the family since she hasn't seen them since our wedding and didn't know when she would see them again. Mom and Dad rolled in with Daisy around 11:30 and the boys wanted to take the canoe down to the lake for a ride. After Drew got the canoe cleaned out from all the wasps nests they took it down. I don't have any pictures of that cuz Mom and Dad took most of the pictures on Saturday and haven't given them to me yet but it was funny!!! Tom gave Drew and Alan a push out and wasn't very nice about it... It only took him about 20 ft of pushing to get them tipped over!

The water was kind of choppy like I told them that it was going to be with all the water skiers and jet skis on the lake but they gave it the old college try anyway. Drew and Alan had a hard time staying in the canoe even without Tom "helping them out" Tom took Joey when they got back and they worked out a system where they figured out how to ride out the waves and stay in the canoe. After that Alan and Drew gave it another shot and even Dad got out there with Alan and took a ride. Kendra and I opted out for the day due to the choppy water.


The doggies enjoyed the beach later that day when we took them swimming. Riley decided it would be fun to roll around in the sand after she was dripping wet in lake water. Mmmmmm, sandy puppy!

Later that night we decided to grill out and of course it decided to start raining and put a damper on our outside plans. Joey and I spent a long time playing cards and everyone else was hanging out in the living room. Once it got dark we all headed into town and watched the fireworks from the car on a hill that Tom found for us. It was a good show. I'm glad that we got to see them fireworks are one of my favorite things to do for the year. It is weird how they were a week before the 4th though. But I am glad because I got to see them with my family.
