4th of July Vacation

We decided this year's family vacation would be a week long stay at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Before we headed out of town, however, we thought Sadie might enjoy Kaleidoscope and lunch at Fritz's.

 Waiting in line with Grandma. We were the first ones there!

 Water coloring. Something I rarely get to do!

 Drawing like an expert.

 

 Final touches on my masterpiece.

And of course I have to finish lining up all my supplies! I am so organized!

 

YAY! Lunch time!

 

The next day we headed down to the lake. We had some relaxing time before the rest of the family joined us, so we decided to take Sadie on her first Go Kart ride, as well as watch the sun set with a glass of wine (water for Sadie of course).

 

 Getting ready for Nascar!

 Special treat for mom and dad!

 

Later that week the rest of Troy's  family arrived.  Sadie LOVES getting to spend time with her cousins.



 

 Happy Americas!

Cousin Nolan and Aunt Veronica.  Nolan is a heart breaker! 

 Making cupcakes with Pap, Caleb, Nolan and our buddy Roman!

 Um, this is pretty good

 

 

And of course I have to jazz up my 4th of July outfit!  Scuba mask..the perfect accessory!

 

Oh, and I did a little artwork while I was down at the lake. 

Yep, I can color better than my mom and dad!

 

Later that night we headed out on the boat for some fireworks! Sadie really enjoyed them..for about 5 minutes. Then she was off to play with her buddy Kate!

 Watching the fireworks in the front of the boat with daddy!

(PS-Anyone else have hair envy of this child!)

 

Sadie and her buddy Kate!

 

 

We had a great vacation, even if we didn't travel too far.  We got to spend lots of quality time with Sadie and enjoy our boat!  Sadie even got the be the captain!

 

I rule this joint!
