Falls Park

On Sunday afternoon after nap we all headed to Falls Park in order for the kids to enjoy playing in the fountain. When we arrived the kids instantly headed to the spraying water and proceeded to get soaked. After a little bit, my dad arrived and we enjoyed visiting and playing with the kids.

While we were there we also sat by the river to feed the ducks. It turned out to be the ducks, fish, and pigeons who all wanted in on the action. The pigeons were so fearless that John was even able to catch one. After showing it to the kids, he let it fly off, but all the birds and fish were still up for more food.

4th of July Weekend at Lake Keowee

For the July 4th holiday weekend, we all packed up and headed to stay at Lake Keowee with my mom. When we arrived on Friday everyone was excited so we quickly unloaded, snacked, changed, and all 6 of us headed out for a boat ride. With the first island we came to, known as "duck island" to Emily since she released the ducks from Easter there, we all got out, walked on the shore, played in the water, and had a good time. After we had played for a while, we all loaded up to venture out on a boat ride further down the lake. When we arrived at where the old "Cage" use to be where we use to go with Divers World, the 5 of us jumped out for a swim.



The next day we enjoyed going out in the boat, playing in the water, jumping off the dock, and then heading to the Pool in the afternoon for a 4th of July party. All the kids really enjoyed getting in the Pool and the festivities. That night once it started getting dark, John and I took Emily out on the boat, parked in Crooked Creek and waited for the fireworks with the hundreds of other boats. It was an amazing fireworks display!!



On Sunday after breakfast and a boat ride we headed back to pack up. John and Emily headed off to play in the boat for a while and then to load it up.
