The "Finnster, et al."

Every year, usually in July, we have a Bumbalough lake trip out at Eddie and Elaine's lake house.  This year Dad took Will up early. Emily offered to drive my other two children to the lake house so that they wouldn't have to wait for me to get off of work.  Emily told me that midway through the trip Sam began to complain that know one was including him in the conversation.  Mind you, Sam was wearing headphones. These cousin have so much fun together.  We rarely see them when they are together because they hang with and take care of (kind of) each other. Shane and the boys enjoying the shrimp boil dinner. As we were getting ready to load the boat, Emily slid and got a rock stuck in her toe. I have never been one to get woozy over the sight of blood until that very moment.  Will was concerned. Sam loved tubing. Will really enjoyed his time in the water.  Not even remotely trusting in his puddle jumpers,  he hung on to be for dear life

The Fourth of July, 2019, can be summed up as follows:  we ate, we swam, Finn got hit in the ear with a firework and the boys all loved the "poop" firework. I have posted a few of my favorite photos from the day. Finn took and then altered this photo. On July 6th, Finn, Sam and I went to Mike and Tracy Shepherd's family fireworks show.  It was incredible.  It took her Father and his other helpers over five hours to set up.  She told me that it takes her Father around 10 months to plan out the fireworks show - he even makes his own fireworks.  After the cookout, we three laid on the grass and watched the show.
