independence day

We have great friends, and our great friends have great parents. That is why we had a wonderful weekend filled with friends, sand, water, boating, games, food, fireworks, not much sleep, tons of fun...


Lake Michigan was a little chilly - 52 degrees. So we mainly played in the sand. Only Mitch and I were actually brave enough to swim in it. Reagan enjoyed the sand...
I love Lake Michigan! So pretty - even overcast!

The girls liked digging, but both hated having sand on their hands.

Kennedy didn't really mind the cold water too much.

Kennedy started to really like the sand by the end! She even tried to eat it!

Katie Roll being cute playing ring around the rosey with the kids.

Kennedy still being cute in the sand.

Part of the gang playing cards, Austin and Kara showed up later.

Lindsey and Troy being cute on the boat.

Reagan riding with Daddy on the boat. She really liked it for the first 45 minutes or so and kept asking for us to go faster.

Kennedy didn't really like her life vest.

The kids, Kennedy, Hayden(?), Reagan, Mason, Ady, Skyler. (Missing Blake and Hannah)

The kids are so funny together!

Adam's sister are so great with the kids - they absolutely adore them!

Kennedy enjoying a freeze pop, ahhh the life!
It was a wonderful weekend. The kids did as well as could be expected. Reagan LOVED playing with the other kids! Lori, of course, spoiled us with great food. We love you Rolls!
Happy 4th everyone!

Cute pictures! We were bummed that Blake missed the cute kids picture with everyone in their 4th of July clothes. It was fun to see you guys again - your girls are adorable!

After seeing my house today...I'm ready to go back on vacation! It's always so much fun when we get together, although I tend to forget how it's not quite a vacation now that there's a thousand kids running around!!! :)
