4th of July Part 1

We went to the lake for the 4th of July to cool off and to celebrate a day off.  I love to swim, but the kids really enjoy playing in the sand.  

 Alan decided to show the kids what a true sand castle looks like.  

 Not too bad for a guy who works a desk job. 

He's so proud!  

It was a lovely day at the lake.  It is nice to have a place so close where we can go and cool off.   

My little water baby.  

The kids are starting to play with each other more.  I am really enjoying that.   

I told Alan his castle needed a flag.  I mean a castle is not complete without a flag!  

The kids found Alan's castle and enjoyed its destruction.  Alan was a good sport.

It was a lovely day, even though I got a killer sunburn.
