the fourth

What a wonderful long 4th of July weekend we had!  We started off at G/G Butler's on Friday night with fireworks courtesy of Dalton and a great dinner:)  Saturday we went for golf cart rides, visited BC's cousins and our neighbors the Cone's.  A huge storm rolled in and we lost power for about 6 hours!  We thought for sure the fireworks on the lake would be canceled due the lightning, but they went off without us...there was no way we were going to be in the boat with lightning!  Sunday we went out on Wawasee with my sister, uncle Bill and Jake.  The boys had fun in the lake, but it was super hot!  We drove up to the island on Sylvan Lake later that afternoon to see G/G O'Rourke.  After a few hours of hanging out we headed to Ft. Wayne.  Monday we met up with uncle Andy and the girls at a splash pad/park.  The little guys had an awesome time!  We watched the fireworks late that night, there's nothing like the sound of fireworks:)  Tuesday we headed back home and hit up the pool!  It was so great to see our families, now we just need to get back into some sort of schedule!  Happy fourth!
