On to July!....

-July 2nd-

Slip-n-Slide fun @ the Harris'

They took an old swimming pool liner and made the best slip-n-slide ever!

Hannah trying it out first-
Hannah would give Kamryn a push and Hayes would be at the bottom waiting to catch her...
Hayes- trying something new...
Was that fun, Kamryn?

She just kept lying down for more, more, more!

-The 4th of July-

We spent the fourth in Fayetteville @ the Hughes' lake house. Christal & Jackson were able to come (from Boston) and enjoy the day as well. We had tons of great food, good weather for boating, & enjoyed visiting with everyone.

Mr. Potato Head seemed to be a big hit... Jackson looking so serious...
Kamryn & Hayes- trying in out....
Granny & Hannah being silly, too!

Mark trying to make Kamryn feel better about her mess-

I don't think she nor Jackson know or care that they have icing all over their faces...
well, maybe just a bit-
Here's most of the gang-
We made it home just in time to shoot off a few fireworks with the Hamby's-

July 9th-12th.....Boca Raton, FL.
Matt surprised me with a trip to Boca Raton for some sun, shopping, & relaxation!

I didn't know our final destination 'til we got there. We flew in to Ft. Lauderdale......

Boca Raton was so upscale!

Every thing about this place was posh!

Matt had arranged for me to have a manicure/pedicure one day & a massage/facial another at a really nice spa- I could get use to this!!!!

Too dark to tell, but we were walking on the beach here-

The beaches were very nice- big, clean, & not crowded.

I spent one whole day shopping at one of the country's largest malls (Sawgrass Mills)- it was indoor/outdoor & lots of outlets too! You would need a week to cover the entire mall, but I had a great day trying!
