4th of July Weekend!

    We got to spend our 4th of July weekend at my grandparents Lake House in Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee. My grandparents were there, my Aunt Cathy and cousin Ali and my aunt Kim, uncle Kevin and cousin Lauren were visiting from Baltimore. I made a "4th of July dinner" on Saturday night full of hamburgers and corn on the cob on the grill, macaroni and cheese and of course banana pudding. We spent all day on the boat Sunday and Monday-and I loved it. During the day we had such good weather, with some thunderstorms at night that were fitting for our favorite card game Queen of Spades. Unfortunately, no fire works this year because of the storms, but we managed. 
This is how they bring our boat "Okie" out and it scares me every time.

 The Captain and I cruising. 
Lauren, Ali and I at the Lake Club!
My Grandparents, how cute are they? 
Dad getting a little water skiing in. Although the water was so rough. 

My favorite picture, so much emotion!

 Pops and I. Everyone calls us twins-I don't see it. 
 Dad and his brother Kevin, and sister Cathy. 
We got locked out of the house for a bit. Whoops. 

Cameron's friend Erick came and brought his remote control. It is gas powered and goes 50 mph. Even I liked it!
We spend a lot of time on walks and bike rides around the neighborhood. So peaceful!

Happy Birthday America!

Bravos!

    I finally went to my first Braves game of the year! They played the Orioles and won 4-2. I can honestly say, this was the least amount of attention I have ever paid at a Braves Game. We had great seats, 3rd row in center-right field. This meant that every pop up ball that wasn't even close I screamed and made everyone else panic. My parents, brother and his friend, and Alicia all came along. 
Headed to Turner Field on MARTA

Cameron really loves taking pictures with me.

 Cameron is also really good at taking pictures.. gotta love him. 
 We were so close! 

 Beautiful sunset over Turner Field


Having too much fun with the Tomahawk. 


 

The game proceeded with Alicia and I making an emergency trip to Burger King. I was pretty sure I was not going to make it. All in all, great Summer-Braves night!
