Happy 4th

We had a wonderful 4th yesterday. We spent the day with Andrew's family and had a great time visiting. We got to Andrew's parents around 11am and headed down to the Boiling Springs Children's Lake to watch the Anything Floats event. Anything Floats is where people make rafts/boats out of different materials around their house/local improvement store and put it in the water and race each other. There are 2 men, 4 men, 6 men, and 10 men events. The rafts were pretty funny and creative. We had a wonderful time looking at all of the different floats and watching them race eachother. Jacob ended up sleeping through the entire event but that is fine with me.

After Anything Floats we went back to Andrew's parents and had a wonderful afternoon hanging out with family, eating delicious food, and catching up on the events that have happened over the last few weeks. I have to say I was a little sad because we are ususally at the beach this week with Andrew's parents, sister, brother in law, and nephew watching fireworks and playing baseball in the back of the condo but I'm really glad that I didn't have the stress of taking Jacob to the beach this year. Andrew's parents did book a house in OBX next year over the 4th so we all talked about how different the vacation will be next year with 3 little ones in the house. (We also talked about hiring a nanny/manny to take with us so if anyone knows someone let me know :)) It is amazing how much we have grown in the last few years. The first time I went on vacation with Andrew's sister and brother in law we weren't even married yet and Kristi had just found out she was pregnant with Garrett.

Here are some pics from yesterday:
