So this is a little bit out of order chronologically, but I just realized that I didn't post anything from our week at the lake over July 4th. After we got Ward back from his month at Camp Alpine we spent a week at the lake. Unfortunately, it was a pretty rainy week but the kids made the best of it, as always. It wasn't a complete washout and the older kids got to go to a camp at Willow Point and they loved it. They had so much fun playing all the games and especially doing the crafts. Ward made plenty of traps for animals (and got lots of chiggers and poison sumac in the process) and we just made the best of it. We went to Auburn and saw a movie and just had fun being together. The cabin was a little close for comfort and we ended up leaving a day early just to give mom and dad a break from all the chaos, but I think that they missed us once we left!!
Maggie loves putting on my shoes (and anyone else's shoes for that matter!)

My precious girl

This might be my favorite picture from the week. Ward and Maggie have a special bond and I think that this picture captured a little bit of magic between these two!
Proud to be an American!!!
We did lots of crafts on the porch
See my art??
How precious is this little girl? Ann Park took this picture of Maggie sitting with me like a big girl at the table. She was so pleased with herself!
Ward had a great time jumping on the Lily Pad, which is essentially a huge piece of styrofoam that floats and the kids can jump on it kinda like a trampoline on the water
See what I mean about the posing?
Always rockin'
Mid-jump
Having fun, as always
Ann Park really got into tubing and didn't let a little rain slow her down!
He loves tacky Walmart shirts . . . whats a mom to do?
