Happy 4th of July!

We were invited to go to our friends house on Saturday for a fun 4th of July party. We played volleyball, corn hole, shot the BB guns, rode four wheelers, and ate alot of food!! Thank you to the Donald's for opening their home to all those people! We had a great time! We hope everyone else had a great weekend as well.
The kids as always enjoyed the fireworks! The sparklers are always a big hit with everyone!

Kale was so fun this year. He was so excited with every firework, and loud boom! He kept saying, "I love fireworks Mom!" We all got to be waaaay to late, and were a little tired and cranky for church, but it was worth it for the fun we had.

We had a fun holiday weekend. On Friday, we decided to hop on a ferry to cross a small section of Lake Erie, and head on over to Kelley Island. Lee had heard about these really cool glacial grooves on the island, left from a glacier thousand of years ago. It was amazing to see the way the rock was sheared off. We walked across the island to get there. It was only about 2 miles. Lee being a geologist, was very excited to see the grooves.

The kids favorite part was going on the ferry to get to the island! They had so much fun riding on the ferry, and crossing on the water. We could hardly get them to disembark.:)

We were surprised on how big Lake Erie looked once you were on it! It is one of the great lakes! It was very blue, and the weather was fantastic!

They liked how the boat was rocking back and forth, and moving the water all around. The ferry ride was a little pricey, but worth it the one time we probably will go out there.
