Fourth of July!!

Lake Roosevelt on the Fourth of July!!

We went out to the lake for the 4th with Jon's family and the Lovinger's ( family friends). It wasn't the best boating day with a little bit of rain and clouds and then sun and hot and then rain and clouds, but it was still a lot of fun. Here is Jon trying to relax on the beach.
We tried to get Katie, who is 4, to water ski behind the jet ski. She did it last summer but this time she was not going to do it.

There was a visitor on the beach too, this frog. He was pretty big!

Katie poked it with a stick and watched it jump away.

Jon and I on the beach. Getting that belly bump bigger and bigger every day I swear.

We took "Garth," Jon's 1974 GMC Jimmy, out last night to watch fireworks out in Liberty Lake. It was so fun to watch them in the back of Garth with no top just the stars above us, we had the pups too. We didn't have the best view but it was fun all the same!

Jon and Darby! Darby was a little nervous about the fireworks, she wouldn't hold still but we tried to calm her down while they made lots of noise.

Gauge just wanted to watch them. He was so funny, he wouldn't come sit back in the truck with us, he wanted to sit at the back and watch the shadows the fireworks made on the field next to us.

Speaking of Garth, we took his top off awhile ago and Jon made some improvements to him. First he put a baseball on the shifter thing in the middle( yes that is a technical term). We have a lot of fun riding around in the old Jimmy!

Also Garth got a brand new engine. The engine went out last fall and it was a sad day. But alas we saved up and got a new one. It purrs like a kitten now!! Well not really, it is very loud and beefy when we drive it around but it sounds better than it did.
