Hailey's great grandmother came to visit the lake for the Fourth of July. I found Hailey talking to her a lot. I am glad she had the chance to visit with her again.

Hailey enjoyed going to the firework stand with Brady and Michael to pick out fireworks. She was super sad that I did not let her take home a free cat though. She really wants an indoor pet like a cat or a dog. Brady and I do not want another cat - EVER! We told her someday we might get a dog. I am not crazy about having a larger pet inside again though. They make messes and I get too attached. I can live with a fish dying. Sad but being honest!

Lighting fireworks with Brady is so much fun for Hailey. She loves it. We never wound up lighting the sparklers oddly enough. Will have to save those for the New Year!

Hunter liked this tank!

My favorite firework selection - SNAKES! These have always made me smile.

Firework Watching!

Hunter enjoyed spending time with his Uncle Michael and Aunt Kelsey!

Brady, Hailey, Hunter and I took a boat ride over to see the bridge we always cross when coming to the lake. It rained for a bit but not for long. I like riding in a boat on cloudy days!

We met up with the rest of the family at the marina and got on the big boat for awhile.

Boat Talk!

Hailey needed to "relax" a bit. She was too hyper for me. So I told her to make some faces. These are shots of her happy, sad, excited, etc. looks. She has a million more too!

Pretty evening sunset!

It was a very nice, relaxing (and hot) Fourth of July. I am glad I got to see everyone again!
