I love patriotic holidays. Partly because they fall in the summer and include great food, but mostly for what they stand for. This 4th of July was a fun filled, packed weekend! It started out Sunday night at the Vests. Of course it included a BBQ, fireworks and yard games.
Before yard games…all smiles…+
Jessie and I dominated in volleyball…just ask Trent and Tim…
The loot…
Coordinating their firework show to shoot off 4 at a time…
Run!
Saturday brought a hot and sunny day at the lake. Amy invited Trent and I to her family’s cabin at South Bend. Trent’s face lit up when I told him because his dream holiday is at the lake. Trent mostly enjoyed the fun games that he played with the other big “kids.” Adam also convinced Amy that a game of sand volleyball was necessary so we sunk our feet into the scorching sand and served it up. Definitely worth it since our team won.
Fun in the sun…
Trent and Adam demonstrating their mad catching skills off the dock…
Ellie was ready for her first 4th of July…
Lainey oohing and ahhing at the fireworks…
Great action shot...A firecracker that goes off in water!
The whole neighborhood was talking when a fire truck showed up at our party. No worries, just Trent’s great uncle stopping by to let us check it out on his way to the fireworks…
Sibling love watching the fireworks…
An intense game of firecracker ball in progress…
The fireworks were the grand finale of a big weekend. I love watching Trent watch fireworks because he has a huge smile on his face the whole time. He really is just a big kid at heart!
p.s. The apple pie was a big hit...I give it an A plus!
