The Lake

After a week at the beach we all headed up to the Lake for the first week in July :)  We always have a great time boating, fishing, swimming, having campfires, and just being outside!  We had a couple of little bumps in the road because Alex got pretty sick the last day we were at the beach (sick like 104.5 fever, scary!).  The really high fever didn't last long, but a low grade fever lingered for the next few days.  He was a trooper though and did pretty well on tylenol/motrin.  Nathan caught the bug after that, our last night at the Lake and was sick the week we got home.  Poor little guys getting sick on vacation :(  But anyway, through all that excitement, we still enjoyed all of our usual "lake fun" :)

Nathan enjoying the loooong 12 hr drive from Myrtle Beach to Treasure Lake!  We even ordered chocolate milks at Starbucks for the boys per request of our sick one ;) 

Poor Alex, sick on the drive :(

Playing in the backyard! 

Gary and I got to enjoy a couple of dates - always a big perk to visiting family! :) 

The boys both enjoyed the boat.... but Alex preferred to go slow ;)

Nathan would say "faster, faster!" He loved it!!

Alex, again, had no fear!  He was way out in the lake swimming! 

Cousins playing in the sand!!

Nathan loves anything that shoots...

Another boat ride :)

Lots of playing outside!

A little fishing...

Great grandpa came for a visit and enjoyed a campfire with the great grandkids!

A family shot on 4th of July :)

Sisters! 

Setting off fireworks, the boys loved them!  No one was crying or scared this year... (but, Nathan was throwing up because this is when he came down with the bug :(  )

Alex loved the sparklers! 

We had a great week!! :)
