Fourth of July Weekend

We had a great Fourth of July weekend. Blake and I headed to our lakehouse Friday after work to meet my grandmother, aunt, sister and brother in law, parents and Blake's parents and sister for the weekend. We had a lot of fun relaxing, eating, boating and just catching up with one another.

Rhett had sooo much fun playing with his cousins (Lady Rebel and Haven, Rebecca and Tom's dogs, and Cotton and Rebel, mom and dad's dogs), riding in the boat (seriously, the boat didn't go out one time without Rhett in it) and helping his Great Aunt M fry fish! Between helping the workmen on the archway every morning last week and the weekend at the camp, he has never been so exhausted! He is at the "Doggy Spa" as I type this getting some R&R and a much needed bath.

We came back in Saturday night and Blake, with is dad's help, got the posts up for the back deck cover on Sunday, so we are making progress, slowly but surely!!

We met my family down at the Barnwell Center (where our wedding reception was) for the fireworks Sunday night. They had hamburgers, hot dogs, a band, a B-52 flyover (which I missed due to a potty break!) and fabulous fireworks! It was so much fun. I absolutely love fireworks and after our pitiful display last 4th of July (we were in Mexico with Bennett and believe it or not Mexico does not celebrate America's Independence, who knew?!?!) But seriously they had 3, literally 3, fireworks last year (that they were so proud of) so I was so thrilled to see an actual fireworks show this year and they did not disappoint.

We had a wonderful, much needed, relaxing weekend with family. We haven't all been together since the wedding and that was crazy, fun but crazy, so this past weekend so nice! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend as well.
