4th of July

So the deer were just the beginning to our weekend. We had such a good time. Our original plans were to just stay Friday night and then come home late Saturday afternoon but we were having so much fun we decided to stay another night. Tim's parents, Vicky and Chip, live in Seguin. It's a small town about an hour and a half south of us. They live right on the lake. It's a lake because it is a dammed body of water but it kind of looks more like a river. It was so nice to be able to walk out the back door and have the lake just right there. They also had a great deck with a hot tub that Brody was able to go in. So we got there around 12 on Saturday. We decided to go into the lake and just kind of float around. We tried to get Brody in but the water was too choppy because of all the boats so I took him up to the hot tub and he liked that much better. He went down for his nap around 2 and Tim's mom stayed at the house with him while we all went out on the boat. We didn't do any water skiing or wake boarding because there were too many people out so we just floated around and drank beer. It was fabulous. We headed back to the house for an early dinner. We grilled some burgers and then loaded up on the boat again to go watch the fireworks. Brody fell asleep almost as soon as he got on the boat and slept through all of the fireworks. We got back to the house and put Brody to bed and then settled in for a game of Apples to Apples, one of our favorites. The next day the boys got up early and went to play golf. We just hung around the house, they had a fun splash table for Brody to play with. He loved it and played with it for several hours! Tim got back around 10, he had hurt his back and didn't get to play golf :o( We waited for Mark and Chip to get back and then had hot dogs for lunch. They were so yummy I had two. Then Brody went down for his nap again and we all got in the lake. Then the weather started to turn a little so we headed up to the deck just in time for it to start pouring. We all sat in the hot tub and watched the rain, it was great. Then we got ready and headed into town for dinner. Tim's parents took us to a really yummy Mexican food place. We got home and Brody went to bed and then we were all up for another game of Apples to Apples, actually I think we played 5 or 6 games. Tim's parents called it a night and we went to the back room to play pool and hang out until what turned into 5am. I was so tired on Sunday. We got up and headed back. It was one of the best 4th of July's we have ever had. Thank you Tim and Shara for showing us such a good time, we love you guys!

This was the back of the house, I was standing on the dock.

Mark took Brody down to the water to see how he would like the lake, he did ok, but the water was just too choppy for him to stay in.

Shara and I our first day there.

Brody just loved this little wagon, he was holding a ball and a shovel.

Since the lake was too rough, Brody and I played in the hot tub.
