4th of July Weekend

We started our weekend out at the cottage! When we got there there was a swan family that thought they should take up residence on the beach....the kids decided they did NOT belong there. They worked together pretty well trying to get them to leave....but it wasn't until Matt went down did they start thinking about leaving!


The male swan standing his ground....he was about as tall as Lucas!


Lucas marching towards the swan...he would continue until he looked at him then he would stop and run away!


Matt and the kids "scaring" the swans away!


We spent the night at the cottage, went to church then headed to Brower park for some water sports! The kids were getting read to go......what a good looking bunch!


Lucas and Ian love to tube....it was HOT outside and the water was great...even I went tubing with Kendra!!!


Kendra enjoying the boat ride.


Gavin watching where we are going!


After the boat ride Gavin started playing the water by the seadoo....he found lots of big rocks....then Grandpa Feenstra got in on the action!



Grandpa was showing Gavin how sound travels under the water. He would tap the stones together under the water while Gavin was under the water...then he would ask Gavin what rhythm it was. Provided lots of entertainment.

We left Brower park about 8:30...Lucas asked to leave because he was tired...all 4 kids were asleep within about 10 min. of getting on the highway. We never did see any fireworks...but that was ok....on Monday we just did some work around the house and enjoyed the day off! What a great weekend!!!
