Fun on the Fourth

We had a fun filled Fourth.

We started the day off at Carney Island. The whole family went, my mom, dad, sister, brother in law, niece and nephew. The kids had a great time playing on the swings. We cooked out.

Makily LOVES to swing

Makily and J fell asleep. My Dad had brought his boat so Allen sat with the kids while my Dad took me out on the boat. We bought this tube to pull behind it:



I had NEVER done this before and let's say I have the war wounds to show for it. My arms are so sore from holding on for dear life! I sat in the middle of the tube. There was no way I was sitting on the side and holding on like in the picture. I mean let's face it I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time.

At first I lost total control of the tube and went flying. Allen told me he saw the tube go up about three feet up in the air at one point and he was just waiting for me to fly out of it. I had a death grip on that thing! My face slammed into it a few times. I have a bruise under my chin and I may have broke my nose, my arm looks like I have been beaten.....




......................but DAMN THAT WAS FUN!


LOLOL

Once I was done Allen took a turn while I sat with the sleeping babies.

We ended the day at the pool at Allen's mom's house. The kids are really water babies. Makily usually plays for a while and then the soothing water makes her sleepy and she is out. J kicks his feet and has a big ole time. We got him a life jacket. He loves that because we can just hold on to it and he free floats.



We had planned on doing fire works here at the house (just the "cheap ones") last night but the kids were tired and so were Mommy and Daddy. I went to bed at 8:30!

Hope you all had a great fourth.

We are going to try and do fireworks tonight to make up for last night!
More pics to come tomorrow.
