The Fourth of July

What better place to celebrate the fourth than a weekend at the lake? I can't think of a more perfect place for our little family. It's our home away from home, a place of refuge to get away from the problems and pressures of life. We absolutely love it there, and we hope to instill that same love of the "lake life" to Hudson.

The lake is also a place where our busy family can slow down and spend some quality time with each other. We enjoyed spending every minute with Mymama, Shug, Big Al, Emily, Andy, and of course, our favorite girl, Prudence. We went up Thursday night after Tucker got off of work. It definitely saved us some time Friday morning. It's always a hassle getting everything together, and it gets Hudson off of his schedule, but it is nice to wake up at the lake. Who needs a schedule when you're at the lake anyway?

 This big girl was very brave! She jumped off the floating pier for the first time! 

 She jumped safely into Mama's arms. She loved it and proved it by jumping over and over again!

 This picture is priceless! A daddy, his best girl, and a fabulous pair of shades! 

  The fountain is always pure entertainment for the babies. 

And Mymama is always happy to guide little curious hands.

 This crew loves some back porch sittin'.

 "Ready for a boat ride, Daddy!"

 Diva in training!

 Hudson loved the boat ride. The shades, not so much!

 These lake babies have no idea how much fun they will have at the lake in future years. 

If only weekends like this could last forever!
