4th of July

Well the 4th of July was a blast!!! We spent the weekend wake boarding, skiing, eating, doing fireworks, and more eating! It was a great time! Skyler is getting GREAT at skiing!!! She does a great job! But when she is done, or if we go too far into the lake she jumps off!!! She is now doing tricks on the ski's. She waves, gives a peace sign, shakes her bootie, and sings. Matt and I are both getting better at wake boarding. However, you have to love when a teenager comes by jumping about 3 feet in the air and all the way across the wake. They must have a much better board than we do - hahahaha!

That night we did some wonderful fireworks and caught lightning bugs. Skyler loved catching the lightning bugs and putting them in a jar. Alyssa loved to watch from a distance. We put the lightning bugs in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning you take them out and they wake up and fly away. The girls loved to watch. Alyssa wasn't sure about fireworks. She absolutely did not like any that made a loud noise. The others she watched from the cracks between her fingers while covering her eyes. Overall, the girls really loved it!!!

We had a great 4th of July!!! Can't wait until next year!!
