Day at Council Grove Lake

On July 5th we got up in the morning and headed to the lake. Some of our family, and many of our friends were out there. We got to the lake about 11am and headed straight for the beach. It was actually not a great day to be at the lake if you wanted to be in the water. The water felt good, but it was not enjoyable to get out of the water. Regardless, Cooper was excited to have his "jacket" on and to go swimming.

After we were at the beach for awhile some of the families camping started to get up an around so we went over to the campsites. There we found hours of fun things to play with. Cooper and daddy went out in an inner tube and fluttered around. Cooper and daddy when on a ride on Uncle Rick's jet ski, and Cameron (Joshua's friend from HS who is also my sister-in-law's brother) pulled all three of us behind the jet ski in a big tube. This was not your typical tube for tubing, but a three seater. Cooper LOVED it, and kept saying "Oh, Yeah!" while we were riding around.

I was able to get pictures of everything except the family tube ride....my camera went dead!

We stayed at the lake until about 5 pm and then headed to Melvern lake to meet other friends along with Joshua's mom and sister to watch their fireworks show. Cooper had not taken a nap all day. Not because we didn't try, but because there was just too much going on. However, he did sleep the hole hour and a half to Melvern. We really enjoyed ourselves. Cooper did really well this time. He sat with Joshua the whole time, but did not cry. The show was very good. We were so close we could actually hear the men giving each other instructions.

On the trip home, Cooper was pretty wound up, but soon fell asleep. At that time we also go the phone call from Aunt Cori announcing her engagement.....YEAH!!!! We got home and the whole family crashed!
