We make sure to take a trip to the lake every summer while visiting Jared's family. This year we decided to go up for the 4th of July festivities and we had such a fun time. Charlie was mostly there for the good food Grandma Rowland cooks! :)
We watched the fireworks from the front yard of Jared's parents' house and did sparklers with the little ones. Charlie took no nap all day while we drove there and then stayed up past 10:00 for the fireworks. He pooped out before we pulled out the sparklers. Good thing there were lots of other cuties to enjoy them with. This is Nyah, Charlie's cousin.
Jared was the official sparkler lighter.
Charlie's cousin, Maddox. His kept burning out before I could get a picture!
The next day we headed out to the lake and Charlie had a blast. He found a puddle in played in it with his bucket for about half an hour. I couldn't get him to look up long enough for a picture but there is sand all over his face because he kept eating it!
Jared, being the cutest daddy ever!
I got lots of good snuggles because Charlie was freezing every time he got out of the water.
Just chillin in a Dora chair. Ava wasn't thrilled about him sitting in her chair!
Normally he refuses to sleep in the car, but we wore him right out. He fell asleep about five minutes into the drive home. He's so precious! It is so fun to experience things that are new to your kids. It's like experiencing them for the first time again myself. I sure love my little family.
