4th of July

Our Fourth of July adventure began on Wednesday and ended Saturday.  We had four day adventure visiting family and friends!

Our fun adventure didn't start out so fun, though.  Earlier in the week Banks had a fever for a few days and then on Thursday he broke out in a rash- so I knew we had Roseola.  He also had FOUR teeth coming in, so he was one miserable boy!  We had to give a name for Banks' evil twin that stole his sweet, smiley personality and replaced it with THIS.  We named him "Carl."  I am happy to say that Carl has gone away now and sweet Banks is back, thank goodness! 

On 4th of July we had plans to go out on Lake Murray on my parents new boat, but due to rain we ended up at the pool, which was fun, too! 

You can't beat a Lexington peach! 

Happy 4th of July!  Too bad it has rained EVERYday for like 3 weeks...puts a damper on summer fun!

He got curious and had to eat pick a flower. 

The next day we traveled to Matt's grandfather's farm in the upstate.  He has lots of horses, chickens, cows, etc.  Banks had so much fun!

He had to wear his John Deere Tractor!

(Excuse my big fat finger! Oops!)

I am not a huge fan of horses for whatever reason, but these were pretty friendly horses. 

Of course Tiger wanted to run around in there with the horses, which they did not like.  It was a job just to keep Tiger from being kicked by the horses. You can remember the last time at the farm we had the same problem!  The dog thinks hes a horse! He has not moved since we got home, he had the time of his life! 

We finished off our fun-filled minivacation with a celebration of Olivia's birthday.  We had steaks at my parents house, perfect way to end a fun long weekend! 

Hope everyone else had a fun 4th of July too!
