The 4th of July
Did not start off too promising to say the least! We hitched up the boat, loaded the truck and took off Friday morning for the lake with hopes of being on the water in a couple of hours after catching a quick bite for lunch in town. Things did not go nearly as planned, but the weekend still turned out fun anyway. About 30 minutes down the road (and maybe 10 minutes after Jace finally went to sleep), we managed to completely shred our tire on the boat trailer. We had to drive 5 mph down the shoulder until we hit an exit several miles away. The next 2 hours were spent hanging out in a parking lot of a gas station waiting on the tire to get fixed. We didn't have a spare on us, which really slowed things down. Anyway, the boys thought it was a great adventure and I was super thankful to have thrown a stroller in the bed of the truck, so we took it in stride and were back on the road after a little bit.
Needless to say, Silas and I were exhausted after two days of driving, getting the boat in and out of the water each day, and taking care of the kids (taking a vacation with your kids is not really a vacation after all!!!), so we enjoyed a calm Sunday and rested up. Monday we headed over to a neighbor's house to grill out and swim with several families, and then I took Tyson to watch fireworks with a group of his friend's from church that evening. It was a long weekend and we have worked this week to settle back into our groove.
