Wednesday, July 4th!!
We love the 4th of July and we had a great day celebrating!!
We swam, grilled, and enjoyed the day with lots of family.
I started the day by hiking to the dam.
What a view!
Hiking selfie
After my hike, we all got dressed and took our annual 4th of July family photos.
First we took some cousin pictures
Novak family photo
After family photos, we went swimming in the lake
And then the girls went fishing
Shortly after this photo, Elizabeth fell in.
I was so scared but my sister Anna jumped down and saved her.
Notice she is now wearing a swim suit AND sitting on the bench.
Then everyone went swimming!
Time for lunch.
In the afternoon, we did our annual pinata
Ben grilling some dinner
Check out the temperature
That's all my photos for the 4th of July.
The 5th of July, I didn't take any photos.
Friday, July 6th
We headed into Fort Worth with the girls and spent the morning at the Stockyards.
We caught the cattle drive before lunch
Those are some serious long horns.
We grabbed a BBQ lunch in the Stockyards
Ben had the unlimited BBQ beef ribs
After lunch, we walked around the Stockyards for a bit.
We shopped, checked out the cowgirl stuff, and did a few quarter rides.
In the late afternoon we took the girls bowling.
The bowling alley had $1 ice cream, so the girls were each treated to a cup. :)
The lanes were pretty amazing.
They had automatic bumpers that went up when the kids bowled and down when the adults bowled.
The next day we flew home and ended our 15-day-vacation around part of the world. :)
Thanks for stopping by and keeping up with my extremely delayed blog posts.
Happy Friday y'all!
