Fourth of July

Celebrating the fourth right means spending time at the cottage

and lounging around like this fella

or getting cozy and crazy like this girlie!

 

selfie time!!

 

 

look at that little goof! always up to something crazy! she makes us laugh and smile every.single.day.

 

just taking it all in – she’s a little fisherlady you know!

 

…speaking of fisher ladies!! check out the ‘lady angler’ sunglasses – these are typically stashed in the glove compartment on the boat – but I wear them EVERY.chance.I get!

 

 

 

selfie time again

papa and his girl

time to watch some fireworks!

 

 

 

 

and of course more fishing!

 

 

these guys are pretty amazing!

 

 

uncle scotty trying to relive his glory days – bought an inflatable raft for the kids to try (he has so many memories of toolin around in one at the marina as a kid) …kiddos didn’t have such great luck with it – so decided to swim instead

and get on the paddle boat

 

 

scott brought up his tripod/grill for the campfire and made some AMAZING chicken for dinner one night

 

 

 

meanwhile…those kids….just handing out on the ‘tom-boon’

 

crazy girls!

 

 

 

 

these.two. love them.  so . so . much! they can sit for hours and fish! 

 

of course the fourth weekend wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Dokter’s annual 4th bash on Silver Lake…along with lots of yummy food and lots of laughs.

 

…and the sign of a fun wekeend, you ask?
