Fourth of July Fun!!!

Andrew and I are trying to take advantage of being able to travel lightly pre baby. So we planned a long overdue trip to see my sister Stephanie in Huntsville, Alabama. Stephanie, Richard and Sarah Kate graciously allowed us to join them at their lake house in Rogersville. Boy did we have fun!!! We spent the weekend swimming in the lake, eating good food, and playing with all of the toys Steph and Richard have at the lake house. And even though I am pregnant, I got to participate in some of the action too.


Andrew and Aunt Stephi on the boat. You can easily tell who spends more time in the sun!

Uncle Brian made it down on the 4th and went out on the boat with us.

Andrew and I on the boat. Thankfully Richard kept the pace to a leisurely ride.


Aunt Stephanie took Andrew and Sarah Kate for a spin on the raft. This was a little too bumpy for me to participate.



Wahoo!!! Andrew and Sarah Kate caught air on that ride!


Andrew preparing to jump off the 24 foot dock into the lake.



Such a long way down!!!


Uncle Richard sets off an impressive fireworks display every 4th of July. Here are the pre pictures of his stock.



The show was better than any show we have seen at home. Plus we had front row seats. (But not too close)


Sarah Kate and I sat together to watch the show.


Adventurous Andrew decided to try his luck at knee boarding. This is him getting ready for Stephanie to hit the gas.


Not the most attractive picture but it appears as if he is getting it.


On second thought....maybe not.


Stephanie had to tow Andrew back to the dock, defeated and sore.


This was a little more my speed during the weekend. Thanks to the Marsden's for all the fun and sun. Can't wait to do it again!

  2. It looks like you guys had a great time! I didn't know Brian had taken so well to the Southern Culture. I love the cowboy hat!
