Fourth of July

I never found my camera upload cord so I had to run to Best Buy today and buy some weird hubijub (sp??) but finally figured it all out. This post is late and there are A LOT of pics...

Hanz took a week off of work and we coupled that with the long Fourth of July weekend to have a fun vaca in Alabama. We started it off at my parents' lake house to celebrate my most FAVORITE of all holidays! Hanz's brother, Larz, and his wife, Karen, flew in from NM to see us one last time before they head out to the mission field in Indonesia. This was actually their first time to see Lily Bug so it was super special. Hanz's folks also joined us at the lake. They drove their RV all the way from South Texas and plan on doing a little more traveling around the South before they head back. On Saturday, my ENTIRE family came to the lake. We swam, grilled out and then shot off about $500 worth of fireworks that night! It was so much fun!
