Looking Back at the 4th!

I never finished posting about the fourth of July so I have a little catch up to do and then a bunch more so I will be posting a lot just to get caught up. Blogging is my only way of keeping a journal these days....I am in a scrapbook club but I have a pile of over a year and a half worth of completed scrapbook pages with no pictures on them. Oh well, someday I will get caught up. In the mean time I will just keep blogging away, it is so much faster and cleaner and my boys can't really get into it! So back to my post, we spent the fourth of July with my family in the morning/afternoon. We go boating every year on the fourth. It is fun, but there always seems to be boat trouble and then there is Camden. Absolutely terrified of boats! I am not really sure why. The first two summers of his life I took him boating all of the time and then once he hit 3 he no longer wants anything to do with them. He even gets all worked up if he even sees a boat parked at my parents house. I am hoping it is a phase because it makes for a stressful "family fun" time. I forgot to take any pictures, but we had a fun time roasting hot dogs, eating fresh fruit and homemade caramel popcorn and just being together as a family. Carter had his first ride in the inner tube and loved it. He, unlike Camden is not afraid of boats or water so I have to keep a close eye on him. Myah slept most of the day. I was going to let her have her first ride on the boat, but the water was a little too choppy for her little head. Maybe next time! After boating we always go to Darin's mom's and have dinner and do fireworks. The boys have so much fun with their cousins. They are so out of control and I fear my in-laws think my boys are crazy, but I swear they are much better behaved when they aren't surrounded by so many BOYS! They love it! We had a great time being together. Other than Christmas, the 4th of July is my very favorite holiday. It doesn't get much better than that!
