The Shaw Shack

A few weekends ago we headed to lake Rabun for much needed time on the lake with the Shaw's, the Rees' and some neighbors of the Shaws. It was PERFECT weather. Hot and beautiful all day, and in the 50's at night. You could not have asked for a better weekend.

Ryder found a great hat and noodle to carry around all day.

He spent 4 solid hours in the lake climbing up on a raft and then jumping off. The ducks even swan right up to us and pretty much ate bread out of our hands.

Of course we had to get some boat driving in while we were there.

Shaw and Simon (aka. stinky) took time out from grilling to jump in and cool off.

Tom, well he just laid around. Just as you should at the lake

We had a blast! Thanks Shaws!

Happy Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July. Ryder's first fireworks at Capital City on Friday night was a great one.

Before we went we had to get daddy clean and shaved so I thought I would help out.

My favorite, Emma. I have taken to tackling her to the ground for some good hugs these days.

As the fireworks went off all i could say was "more, more, more" and "wooo, big balls!"

The next morning we got up for a little breakfast in bed before heading to the lake.

Henry really has this lake thing down, just lay back on a raft and hang out.

I, on the other hand was stuck sitting on a raft rather than laying down. When do I get to be like henry?

Boat ride, I love boat rides! Mom, I think it is a bit windy in this seat, can I go sit with daddy?

Much better! I can see the bubble off the back of the boat and get to snuggle at the same time. Happy Fourth Everyone!
