4th of July at the Lakes

We spent our first 4th of July at my grandparent's house in Spirit Lake, Iowa. My family goes every year but we have yet to make it until this year! It was nice to get everyone in one location for a weekend with nice weather, scenery, and food. We just laid low sitting around, going for boat and canoe rides, and having plenty of conversation.

Kyle isn't too fond of this picture but I enjoy it; Lauren's first time with sparklers!
Lauren entertained herself for HOURS with this froggy. The next 3 pictures are backwards in series but they wouldn't cooperate. She would pick flowers, run to the froggy, and feed them to him. Great Grandma had to eventually hide the froggy because the mosquitos enjoyed that area and Lauren wouldn't stay away.
Lauren being her "Lauren-self"!
Isn't if funny how things not intended for entertainment prove to be the most entertaining. Where's Waldo...I mean Lauren?
Hanging out with cousin Ethan and Olivia by the canoe.
Lauren is not a fan of water. Although she is always on the go and moving around, she is rather timid around water. It is actually pretty nice when we go to the water park because she will just sit on the edge and watch everyone and I can sit by her and enjoy her company. Anyways...boat rides...not so much! Lauren will tell you that she had a blast, she will talk about the boat, but if you ask her if she wants another ride...she will say 'NO!'
