Happy 4th of July!

We could not have asked for a better 4th of July.  There's no better way to celebrate America than with a new lake house!  My parents closed on a place at Lake Murray last Wednesday, and we all had an absolute blast hanging out there all weekend!

We were all awake by 6 am the first morning there - it was like Christmas morning!


Caleb was on the wake board by about 7 am.  Thank you Nicole and Dusty for driving us around all weekend : )  *we're still boat-less*


Caleb had some technical difficulties getting OUT of the wake board.  His poor little foot was stuck, and it entertained us all for a while.  Thank you, Taylor, for being there to help him with some FootSlick (i think that's what it was called.)  Caleb described the event as pure claustrophobia.


I had many a fall trying to wake surf.  I felt like I was on that Wipeout TV show.


I think this is the ONLY time I was able to let go of the rope.  It's a good thing Caleb can take quick pictures.


John and Britt hanging out on the boat


Nicole and Dusty showed off a little bit!  Actually, this was a new trick for them, and I was in absolute awe.  They were ridiculous, and we were all just amazed!


This is as far as Caleb and I made it trying to "couples surf"


Jordan got a new puppy, Kobe!


Aren't they so sweet?!


Here's everybody on the dock!


I have tons of more pictures, but I will save those for another day!  

For 4 days, we had no TV, no internet, and very little make up.  That made for a wonderful, relaxing, fun-filled, outside from sunrise to sunset weekend.  We are going to LOVE this place!  

God Bless America!
