Fourth of July 2011

To celebrate Fourth of July and our last weekend living at the lakehouse, Tutu and Poppy came up to visit and help me with the kids. Since Paul was on the road July 4th, we postponed our fireworks celebration until the night after. Paul loaded the dogs and Railey in the Jeep and we headed down to the "lake beach" as Railey calls it to set off some amazing fireworks! Thanks to Sweets for picking them up in Alabama!

The dogs were terrified and "hid" from the fireworks

After the fireworks show, we headed back to the lakehouse so Railey could play with the sparklers.

Ummmmmm, not sure how mama feels about these Alabama sparklers

This was about the point when I started telling Railey to hold it as far away from her body as she could

Time to go to bed, Tutu brought Railey one of my nightgowns that I wore when I was her age. Needless to say, Railey loved it.

Happy Fourth of July and goodbye lakehouse! We loved being there but are so excited to move into our new house and return to "normal."
