Four Henrion's Having Fun: 4th of July Weekend

We got home from vacation on the 3rd which was awesome because Nate still had 2 days off. Sunday the 4th we just hung around the house. It was pretty hot so we played outside with the kids in the pool. I was actually sitting in the kiddy pool because it was so hot. No there are not any pictures of that! ha! Nate grilled us up some burgers which were delish. Then we had our own little fireworks display here. Nate loved being able to finally light them off again without the boys screaming and running in the other direction. The boys took a two hour nap because they were so exhausted so we ended up taking them downtown to see the fireworks. They LOVED it!!! There were so many people down there but we found a good spot to sit and watch and let me tell ya the people watching alone was worth the trip. We didn't get home until almost 11:30 at night. I didn't bring my camera which was bothering me at first but it was also nice to just enjoy the moment without trying to capture it on film.

Monday the 5th we headed up to Gary and Keri's to go boating. They have a pontoon boat docked at Hardy which is like a mile from their house. I didn't really know what to expect but I was shocked at how beautiful it was. The kids love being on the water now which makes me and Nate think that our own boat might be in our near future. I didn't realize that Hardy has no homes on it. Keri said it's like 18 miles long or something crazy like that. Anyways you just dock your boat at one of their beaches and you can either play on the beach or float in the water. It was so nice and relaxing. Can't wait to do it again!!!
