Independence Day Weekend

We finally made the trip up to Dayton, TN for a weekend.  Janice and David invited us to spend the 4th of July weekend at their house on the river.  We were ready to swim, go boating, water skiing and hang out on the river.  Well, it rained and it was cloudy pretty much the entire time.  We kept hoping the next day would be better, and it actually got worse; on Saturday it rained pretty much non-stop.  Despite the rain, we had fun.  We had to get creative to entertain the kids inside, but they always have a good time with their cousins.  Janice made a camp sight in the garage where the kids slept; it had a tent, trees, and even a camp fire (with battery lit candles).  They loved it and hung out there a lot!  We did get in the river, but it was chilly, so it didn't last for long.  We played Wii, board games and took walks- even in the rain!  Of course there was always lots of yummy food.  The guys did fireworks on Saturday night and to our surprise, Aiden (who loves loud noises and fire) wanted nothing to do with them.  He had an intense fear and didn't even want to be outside when they were going off.  Ty watched and thought they were cool, but after the sparklers Aiden, Mark and I went in the basement where we couldn't hear them.  It was a fun trip, and we are looking forward to going back when the sun is out. :-)
