Happy 4th of July!!

I was so happy we were able to celebrate the 4th of July this year in Lake City. I have been telling the hubs about how much I love it for years!! And even more exciting... some of our favorite family friends from Oklahoma were in town for the festivities!! 

We began the morning at the local parade...

Ballerina, Colt and Lil Sam.

I swear we will see these 2 on their way to prom together some day.

Baby Dee got in on the parade action also!!

Ballerina was such a good girl during the parade. She watched and laughed and pointed and most importantly... collected a big bag of candy!! (That I took away... hahaha mean mommy)

After the parade there was a little park time with daddy...

Then all the friends headed to my parents cabin for some goooooood food!!

Of course we attempted to take a pic of all the kids... hahahahaha

Very fun day! So grateful for such wonderful family and friends!!

Lake City!!

A quick photo blast from the mountains!!

Tutu & Ballerina talking a walk by the river during one of our picnics at Lake Fork.

Lake City supplied us with several things that were very beneficial to our trip... Coffee Shop being #1 and a PARK!! We went to the park every day!!

Even brother had fun at the park!

We had many a picnic while in the mountains. Ballerina loved every single one!

Dee in his new camo hat!

Dee & Pappy...

Every girl needs a fly fishing shirt and camo hat!!

Learning to "clink" or cheers!

One day there was a bear safety lesson at the park... so naturally we had to attend.

Eating out with a 2 year old is always a challenge.

Lunch at the park one day with Tutu & Janice!

Nothing like a little roast beef sandy... Mmmm

One of the biggest highlights of our trip was dinner on top of Gold Mountain. 

Simply breathtaking!

Yes, we put our 2 year old and 4 month old on the mountain side alone for photo op!

It was a great vacay... So happy we were able to make it up to the mountains!!

More Disney!

 After we went back to the hotel to nap, I had to head to Epcot for classes with my students.
Daddy, Sammie and the cousins did some swimming before meeting us.

MY SCD Kids with Goofy!

 I am SO MAD that I didn't have room on my phone for pics and my camera was packed away. Sammie was a DELIGHT at Epcot. She sang and danced for all sorts of strangers and even stayed up WAY past bedtime to watch the fireworks. She loved them!! And... I got no good photos. I suck. 

The next day we decided to spend the 1st half of the day at the hotel pool and taking it easy.

Being crazy in the room.

Snack time by the pool.

Lounging poolside.

 Sammie was a hoot in the kiddie pool! Mommy didn't get to play too much since she had a broken foot but got to take lots of pictures!!

Kid loves to jump!

So much fun!!

 While Sammie and Daddy took the worlds longest nap... Mommy hit the bus with her dancers! Thanks to Angela for keeping Baby Dee that day!!

All ready to go on the bus!!

 

 

 A few pics from their show!!

 The SCD Dancers were a HUGE hit with the crowd at Disney!! So much fun!!

After the show we hit a restaurant from dinner (where Sammie was on her WORST behavior EVER!) and then played in the rain for a bit while waiting on the insanely slow Disney Bus.

Day 2 in the books and we loved it!!
