Independence Day- July 4th

 Eric thought it would be fun to spend the day at Folsom Lake for the July 4th holiday!
We haven't been to the Lake in many years even though it is just 20 minutes away (crazy, I know)!  Armed with beach chairs, water toys, and sun screen, we took our picnic lunch and hunted out the perfect lakeside spot.

Holly loves all things that are Disney princess, so she sweet talked Eric to buy this beach ball for her while we were getting our lunch at Raleys.

These extra powerful water squirt guns were the hit of the day.....they kept the kids busy for hours.

 Eric kept a close eye on our stuff to make sure everything didn't get too soaked by any misdirected squirt gun fire.  A shady spot is the best place to be for the most pale skinned guy on the beach!

I'm not so sure Carson's summer swimming lessons paid off just yet.... there was way more splashing and playing in the water then actual swimming!

After we had all the fun and sun that we could handle, we came back home to sit outside with our neighbors and watch fireworks together.  All the neighbors on our street buy a few fireworks each and this year we actually had quite the show once we put everyone together.

These are a few of the neighborhood kids who joined us for fireworks!
