4th of July

For the fourth of July this year, we went to see Paul's family in Michigan. We loaded missy up in the car and were off for a 15 hour drive. We spent 4-1/2 days with family, eating, sitting on the lake and boating and loved every minute of it.

 Addison's 1st time on a boat.

 Meeting her great-grandma for the first time.

Isabelle and the cousins (Addi & Ava) with Diane.

 Addison with her grandma Diane.

 The living room was practically a toy war zone. Between two toddlers and Addison, it was wrecked.

 Cousins with their great grandma.

 Lake Macatawa. We sat in the backyard overlooking the lake, eating smores and watching fireworks that people were setting off from their docks.

Paul and I ended our trip in St. Louis on the 4th of July. We watched the largest and loudest fireworks we had ever seen from our hotel room, sipping on some leftover Coke Zero cans from the trip while Addison slept soundly on the king sized bed. Quite possibly the best 4th of July ever.
