Cool jump Caleb!

We spent the holiday weekend at my grandparent's cottage. The weather was beautiful! We can't remember the last time we had so many great days in a row. I love watching my kids enjoy the cottage as much as I did as a child (and still do!). This was the first summer that none of our kids were scared of boats or the water- yay! My grandparents were able to come this time. My Grandpa has 2 weeks left of radiation, we're praying for you Grandpa! We took the boys to their first fireworks display. They loved it! Isaac keeps asking when we can see fireworks again. I wish we had a picture of us watching the fireworks. My relatives found a country road with a good view of the show so we didn't have to sit in the field with all of the drunk, loud people. We were quite the sight with our lawn chairs lined up in a row along the side of the road in the middle of nowhere! We had a great view though and we were home within 5 minutes after the show when normally it would take us an hour to get home from the field- works for me! Once again, Julia did not sleep well at the cottage. I do not understand why she has such a hard time there. However, she loved everyone and everything there! All of my relatives love her, but they all agree she is quite the chatterbox. She just doesn't stop talking. :)

Thanks again Grandpa and Grandma for another great weekend!
