Rewind...

Ok, so I got back from 4th of July weekend and went straight into my 3 nights in a row of work.  And then tonight was Greg's sister and her fiance's wedding shower. So, needless to say, I'm a little behind on posting some 4th of July pics.  So, let's rewind a little bit and I'll tell you all about it :)

We headed to the lake to stay at Greg's parents house at Lake Oconee in GA. The whole Boggs clan was there for the weekend....kids and dogs too! We spent the weekend going to the club pool (which has a big slide that Evey LOVES!).  She started out riding down the slide with her floaties on sitting in someone's lap, but after a few trips, she eventually was riding down by herself without floaties and someone would just catch her at the bottom. And, let me just tell you, even for me...that slide is FAST!  She loves it though. That's all we did at the pool pretty much was rotate through taking her down the slide.

Here goes Evey and Bubba (aka: Greg)

 Evey (riding solo, but still with floaties) and her mama

 And then of course totally by herself, no floaties.  She's not even 3 yrs. old yet! This girl is fearless.

When we weren't on slide duty, the rest of us just hung out in the pool with little Bennett.  Surprisingly, the pool wasn't too terribly crowded.

Here's the rest of the Elkins crew (minus Evey, who guess what?...is on the slide)

We also spent a lot of time hanging out at the house, lounging around, eating good food, and watching fireworks (which shoot off from the Ritz Carlton on the lake, but we can see from the Boggs' home back porch).  And you can't celebrate 4th of July without eating ice cream at some point   :)

 "You have some, Gigi?"  This girl loves some ice cream :)

It was a great holiday weekend.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend any of it with my family, but we've got Katie's wedding weekend coming up, so there will be lots of family time in the near future!! I'm so excited!
