Sunday night we were invited by a friend of Dave's to a BBQ. We had a good time just hanging out and Nathan had a blast hanging out with some new girlfriends. That night was another first for Nathan because he got his first Fat lip. He was playing with a lab who loved to catch a tennis ball in the air, and in an attempt to throw it up for her it went over his head and in her excitement to catch the ball she jumped right onto Nathan.I think he must have bitten his lip when he fell. After a little clean up and some ice on his lip he was back to playing in just a few minutes.
On Monday the 4th we started out our day by going to our local Salem community pancake breakfast. We were all ready to leave straight from the breakfast to the lake with our friends the Vreekens. I will post some pictures from our time on the lake once I can get some copies from them. We had a great time. We started out by surfing a little and I was able to work more on staying on the wake with out the rope. Then we headed over to a grassy shoreline to eat some lunch. After lunch the guys did a little more surfing and then we docked near some cliffs so they guys could do some cliff jumping and Cheris and I tried to get the kids to swim a little in the water. Nathan definitely did not want to get all the way in but he had a great time sitting on the boat platform and splashing the water with his feet. At around 3 we decided it was time to head home when Dave noticed that a boat nearby was having some problems and they ended up needing a tow back to the boat ramp.Nathan was so tired they he fell asleep on the was over to the ramp. That ended up being his only nap for the day. I was kind of worried he wouldn't be awake for us to do fireworks, but he seemed to be OK.
After we got home we showered and relaxed until it was time to BBQ some dinner and then we set off a few of those safe and sane fireworks that I had bought from a local stand. I must say that most of the little fountains were really weak and I was a little disappointed that I didn't realize that there were no sparklers in the pack. But I had spent a little extra and some larger fountains and those ended up being fantastically dangerous. I was pretty shocked when they started to shoot into the air and sometimes even at us. I was laughing so hard and wondering if I should grab Nathan and run for cover, especially after one fell over on its side and was aimed at us. Good thing we had the hose ready. I bet those ones aren't available again next year, but you know I will have to get them if they are.
Happy 4th of July!
Fireworks, kind of lame, this picture pretty much sums it up.
Tuesday after Dave got home from work he suggested that we go see new Transformers together. So we dropped Nathan off with Dave's cousin Daniel and headed to Idaho Falls to watch it in 3D. I usually think 3D is a waste of money but I thought that this one was pretty cool and Dave even said he didn't get sick watching it. Nathan had a great time hanging with Daniel and Heather. We didn't get home until after 11, another late night for Nathan. But it is fun to get out on a date just the two of us.

Those were some seriously fun activities you guys crammed into that weekend. I'm way jealous of your boat! Next time I'm up that way, we need to get together!
