I Love You America!

What a weekend!!:)

Husband and I spent the 4th of July holiday in

Island Park with my family,

And we had a BLAST!!:)

I told myself to keep my phone close so I

Could take lots of pictures!!

And of course I didn't think about taking pictures until the fireworks came out, ah!

My parents bought some kayaks and that is what

Sam and I did most of the time!:)

Once I got the paddle turned the right way

And could keep up with Sam,

I was unstoppable!;)

Sam and I also made it a goal to not get sunburned,

Even with the seven coats of sunscreen,

We managed to come out looking like lobsters!!!

It was worth it though,

Yesterday was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!:)

Also,

Funny story!!!

Sam confessed to me that he doesn't like tube riding,

And for anyone who knows me,

IT'S LIKE MY FAVORITE THING EVER!!!

He told me there was no way I was getting

Him out on the water in a tube!

Luckily though when we got out on the boat there was an eight-year old on board,

And Sam agreed to do the 3-man tube if Lilly

(the eight-year old) was in the tube!

We took a smooth tube ride around the island,

And I know Sam LOVED it,

He had a grin on his face the whole time!;)

We ate so much good food!!

Like if we are being honest here,

I went back for 5ths most of the time because I just couldn't get enough, ha!!

Also, whoever brought the bottles of root beer,

Bless you!!!

I had to sneak a few home they were so delicious!:)

I'm so grateful to live in this beautiful country:)
I'm grateful for those who serve and sacrifice so much to protect each one of us and our country:) 

I'm grateful I had a weekend away with

My lover and family:)

I am proud to be an American:)

Annnddd,

This was the only picture we took!

On our way to see the fireworks,

On a boat, out on the lake,

It was magical:)

I love my adventures with my sweet, husband Sam:)
