This year the 4th in Michigan was HOT, so we were so excited to go boating with our fun friends the Tolberts and a few other families from our new ward. The boys LOVED being out on the tubes and the moms and dads even battled it out behind the boat. It was a great day full of friends and fun.
Before the good times started, there was some work to accomplish...have I mentioned that moving is a never ending "to do" list? In fact around noon Jace said, "I can't believe we have to do so much work on the 4th of July! This is not a fun holiday."
Boating was positively the highlight. We had a great time and were shocked to have the lake almost completely to ourselves. I guess Michiganders can't take the heat :)

At the end of the day, they found a tree swing. Shouldn't every little boy have a tree swing into a lake in their life? I think so.
We capped the night off with a dessert bar and backyard fireworks. Bedtime was VERY late. What a day! We had such a blast and are so grateful for fun, generous new friends. Lucky us!

Oh, I wish I had spent it on the lake with you guys! Looks like you had such a blast!
I think every little boy needs a boat! I love boating and Michigan is the perfect place to have one. Looks like tons of fun.
So jealous of your boating!! I grew up boating on the 4th (and most every other summer weekend) and I miss it. Lucky you with an empty lake. What a great holiday!
so fun! makes me miss the east with all it's nature and fun. i realize there's nature here, but it's just not the same.
