4th of July - Part 2 (the Peter's family!!)

The second part of our holiday weekend fun was getting to take a day trip to hang out with very, very good family friends of ours, the Peters. :o) It was a really fun day. One of those days that you would be want to re-live again if you got the chance. The combination of great weather, great people, great food, and fun on the water was perfect! We arrived just after breakfast, and stayed almost until the sun went down.

When we (the "kids") were younger, almost everything we did together revolved around the water - and the day at the lake was no different.

Taylor LOVED this little rhino toy. She floated around in it all day.

The little kids had fun on the slide...

While the big kids had fun on the paddleboard...Nicole even did it with her two kiddos along!

Testing out yoga moves on the board


A lot of time, we were just able to relax and hang out by the water!

These two live in Colorado, which I think is really neat, but I wish it wasn't so far away so we could see them more!

Before dinner, the three of us went for a little open water swim

After beach was coloring, play time, wonderful fresh food for dinner, a fire, s'mores, glow sticks and sparklers


Taylor was exhausted from all the fun, and got up from dinner, crawled on the couch and was asleep in minutes :)


A little walk...
 After dinner, Nicole and I took the kids out :o) Who needs more than one stroller with four kids?? :o) 

Fire & S'mores

Before we left, Camryn was feeling tired and gave Adam some snuggles (and Ari was reaching up to say good-bye, too :)

Yay for great friends and fun summer days!! :-D
