We were at Camanche, which is where we usually spend a fun 4th relaxing, enjoying the water, and spending time on the boat! This year was no different!!
Joe and Elijah sitting on the back of the boat!
Scarlett playing in the water
Chloe swimming
A bathing beauty!
Mia and Eli playing on the jet skis
Chloe and Scarlett on the other one!
Luke was so funny... He didn't want to be in the
picture so he was laying down beside Mia and Eli!
A little veging out for the little ones!
All the kids playing on the grass!
Sweet boy!
He was being so cute and photogenic!
The big girls playing together
Auntie Alyssa playing Duck-duck-goose with the kids!
They thought it was great fun, although they didn't
really understand how to play and they all just
ran around tagging each other yelling goose!

Watching Auntie Cole wakeboard.
My cute little boat babies!
So cute!
Woo Hoo Auntie Cole!
Uncle Juan played a trick on us and put a speedo on under
his regular shorts giving us all a great laugh!!!
Now we're playing a trick on him by posting this picture! :)
Looks good Uncle Juan!
Not bad for a guy in a speedo!
I decided to try skiing almost 31 weeks pregnant.
My balance was a little off (duh!) so it took two
tries for me to get up! But once I was up it was
no problem!
Sweet little flag boy!
There you can tell I'm pregnant... In the skiing picture
I just look big! :)
The other boat!
Joe's first pull of the season!
A picture from the other boat of Uncle Jimmy wakeboarding
So tired!
More sleepy kids!
Some patriotic cupcakes!
Chloe thought she was a hula girl!
Eli sleeping again! The only way I could get him to wear these sunglasses!
Sweet sleepy boy!
Me and Chloe on the tube!
Papa close by on the jet ski
Nana too!
Chloe was cracking me up! First she said that these
waves weren't big enough, and then she saw another
boat zooming by and said that she wanted to go fast
like *that* boat!!
It actually got a little bumpy and uncomfortable for me so
Auntie Cole took a turn with Chloe!
Joe ferrying Nicole and Chloe to shore!
Back at home checking out the fire works!

What great pictures! Looks like so much fun. Can't believe how big everyone is getting. They probably just enjoy each other more and more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Miss you guys!
Wow...happy to see all the pictures. Looks like you had a great fourth!!! Everyone looks like they had a grand time and I'm surprised you skied...I'm sure you didn't try any flips and just stayed "mellow" out there. The kids are so cute and loved their little 4th of July colors and matching outfits. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAdorable pictures of the kidlets...so CUTE! Makes me want to give them a BIG squeeze! Love them all but especially the ones of Lijers with his flip-flops (he looks like such a big boy) and Chloe in all her swim suits/boating gear/4th of July outfits. Miss them but hope to see them in just a few short weeks!
