4th of July

I know it's been about 10 days, but life's been busy and I just need to catch up.
I wanted to post the few pictures we took on the 4th of July. What can I say? We were having fun and I didn't take the time to take pictures.
We were graciously invited to spend the 4th with our friends Tim and Brienne and their extended family at a very nice private lake. The kids had a great time playing and eating and playing some more and eating some more. Mr Toby even managed to put his "mark" on the birthday cake Brienne had bought for Tim (his birthday actually IS on the 4th).
As the day ended, we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores and let off some firework at the lake. Got home near midnight with some very sleepy boys which made it for a nice quiet drive for Davin and I to just talk as we drove home for 40 minutes.

Mr Adorable ready to celebrate

Toby eating blueberries in a cup

Gabe holding Andrew. He's always looking for an excuse to hold him. Such a sweet brother!

Davin sporting a very cute life-jacket. Fashion was not the key element when they designed this, safety was ;)

Gabe looking so big (to me) getting ready to go for a boat ride with Dad

Way to go Davin! I sure couldn't paddle and keep the boat right side up if my life depended on it! LOL That's what Daddies are for :)

Isaac had to be reminded to sit and put his foot up (remember? he had stiches on his foot?)
But the neighbor's gameboy sure helped :)

Toby wishing he could take that boat for a ride on the lake

I almost forgot Ethan, well, this is what he did most of the time

...and this is what Toby did (notice the "special seat" for him on the sidewalk. ha-ha)
