Typically we try to go home to the UP for the 4th of July weekend. This year we weren't able to take time off for the 4th cause we were taking time off for Vanessa's wedding a few weeks after. So instead, my family came to us! I told my parents they deserve the best parents/grandparents award this summer for all the traveling they did to come see us. They came down for Sadie's birthday the end of May, came down in the middle of June for a week to watch the kids while Brad and I went to a wedding in Florida, and then they came down again for the 4th. When its 11 hours each way, thats a lot of driving in 6 weeks! It sure was great to see them so much though. Thanks mom and dad...we love ya!
Since we weren't going to be able to be on the lake at home, we decided we'd get a boat down here for a day. We rented a pontoon boat out at Morse Reservoir ( a few miles from our house). We had an absolute gorgeous day and we all had so much fun!
The girls...ready to spend the day on the pontoon!
Holding hands wading in the water together...so cute

Rylee wasn't too sure about the life jacket at first but she eventually got used to it.

All the sun and excitement wore the little ones out. I'm glad they were able to get a nap in, they were all so good the whole day! What a great day out on the boat!!!
