July 4 and More!

What a fun filled holiday weekend we've had!!!! We spent the 4th up in Munising with my family and our friends. Em loved catching candy at the parade, and Brad and I enjoyed some of the best fireworks we've ever seen! The weather was amazing, and we were able to get out on my parents boat and let Emma do some swimming. Sunday, Brad's sister Laura and her husband Ty came up from their vacation in Mackinac to visit us for the night!!! We showed them around our neck of the woods, and then spent some more time out on Straits Lake. We had a ton of fun, and are so glad they made the extra trip up our way!

Brad and Emma, taking a rest.

Ashlyn rested too.....she sat so good during the parade, eyes wide and checking everyone out.

Our little swimmer!!

Brad and Ty, way up high on the lift at the garage. We got lucky and Brad is able to borrow this toy to help finish the garage roofing.

Brad and Emma took Ty and Laura out on the quads to show them around.

Awww, come on Ty....you had plenty of leg room! :)

Emma and her Aunt Laura, all snuggled up on the boat.

Happy late Independence Day to everyone!!! We are so blessed to have such freedoms......thanks to all of you who served/serve our country to keep them safe!
