The 4th of July on Lake Martin


Our family spent the 4th of July on Lake Martin and it was WONDERFUL!!! My Uncle Mike and Aunt Maria have a beautiful home on the lake and invited lots of us up for the weekend. Along with my family (Mama, Daddy and Kim), Uncle Ashton, Aunt Sue, Amanda, Bradleigh Kate, and Katherine were there to enjoy the weekend with us. We rode the wave runners and boats all weekend, got lots of rest and LOTS of food. It was so good to get Russell away from home for a little while and although its often hard for him to admit, he had a blast too. Thank you Uncle Mike and Aunt Maria for such an awesome weekend!

I am so glad to see Brother get away and have some fun with ya'll, but I am really glad he did not get hurt doing all those fancy tricks(remind him he is not 25 anymore!!!)! BK looks so much like her daddy and I bet she and MR had a blast together! RG looks like her hair has gotten to her tail - she is growing so much this summer!

Shonna,
You should've seen that poor ski trying to hold him up out of the water. It was hilarious. No matter how fast Uncle Mike would pull him, he'd have so much spray around his ski it was like he was sinking going 30 mph. Russell said he needed a "fat boy ski". It was too funny but he did really well to have not skiied in several years!

It all looks like such fun! Did y'all jump from the big rock?!! {Or have they closed that now?} Glad y'all had a good time.

Beth,
No we didn't jump from Chimney Rock, just the top of the pontoon boat. Riley Grace enjoyed it though.
