July 4th and a day at the lake

We went to a local festival at a park for the 4th of July. The boys are both pretty terrified of fireworks . . . and they don't start until over two hours after they are in bed - (so Richard and I just watched them from the backyard). Anyhow - we did our family celebrating during the day.
I read somewhere something like - 'our freedom in this country is great, but our freedom in Christ from our sins is divinely magnificent' . I thank God for both freedoms!!!
Today we went to a nearby lake. It is just a small, 3 mile around, man made lake that opened a few years ago. We had never been to it - just drove past it yesterday and decided it really seemed like a great place to go - so we did. We were not disappointed! We had a great time! There are no gas-powered boats allowed (b/c of size) so we just went swimming and playing.
Nathan go to ride his little jet-ski for the first time. It was SO COOL! It has a small fan that runs on D batteries and just putts around.
After a little safety and training talk from Dada - he was ready to go!Nathan also found his first shell that was "not all borten" (literal translation = "no all broken", thought for thought translation = "both pieces still connected").

We had a beautiful time!!!!
