July 4th {Installment #2} Highlights

Highlights:

- Finding a swim suit top at the lodge shop that was cute and fits (low light: forgetting my brand new maternity suit at home)

- Finding a pair of sunglasses, too! (that Silas thoroughly enjoyed wearing)

- Figuring out that Silas had pink-eye the day before we left and getting him in to the Dr first thing the next morning. 

-Realizing the pink-eye was a blessing in disguise because he had an ear infection, too.  Could've been a rough vacation without antibiotics.

- Playing tennis and breaking a sweat (the rest of the trip was spent on my butt either on a boat or a lawn chair and I LOVED it!)

-Auntie M's iced decaf vanilla lattes. (below: Uncle Pat hanging with the boys at the coffee shop)

- Rita's ice cream buckets full of cookies and chex mix

- Water crafts: pontoon, speed boat, jet ski.

- Beautiful weather

-Not coming home with a burn (thank you SPF 70!)

- Having many extra sets of hands to help with the little ones (Thanks guys!)

- Finally getting used to having plugged ears (they are still plugged )

- Only getting a warning for not having updated registration stickers on the jet ski

- A baby that took good naps and slept well at night (considering we did the family bed a littler more than I would've wanted)

- Enjoying dinner outside

- Silas officially knowing how to say 'boat'

- Seeing multiple displays of fireworks on our drive home late Sunday night
