Fourth of July

Phil and I took the kids and our nephews to a local lake nearby for lunch on the 4th.  We haven't been to this lake in years and thought it would great to go back on the 4th. 

In the evening we went to a friend's house for a BBQ and sparklers.  

This is the 4th try in getting Andrew's picture.  He hates me taking his photo, hence you may notice I don't post many pictures of him. 

Gone Fishin'

Clare has been wanting to go fishing for while now.  Our neighbor said he'd take her and FINALLY the day came.  July 3rd at 6:30AM, our neighbor, Phil and Clare made plans to go.  Clare was sooo excited and couldn't wait. 
Three hours later, they returned.  Clare had a blast and wants to go again.  She caught 17 shad fish.
