Independence Day 2009

Every year Sam's family has a reunion on the 4th of July at his grandmother's lake house near Conroe. Although it is hot, it is fun to get to see everyone (this is really the only time we see some of them) and let the kids run around. There is always a theme to each reunion, and this year it was "Scottish."
Once Carter got the hang of fishing, and was actually catching some, that is all he wanted to do! I love to go fishing, too, so I am happy that he has learned to enjoy it!
He liked catching them, but then he wanted nothing to do with them!!! Good thing Daddy and Grampa Chris were there to take them off the hook for us!

We finally convinced Ally to touch one of Carter's fish! However, she only did it once!

After we went to the reunion, we put on our suits and headed over to a friend's house for some swimming (and eating!). Ally LOVES to swim, especially with her floatie!

Carter is a little more timid in the water than Ally, so he liked swimming in the hot tub.


We had a great day, and we are so blessed to have such great families and friends!

Carter will have to go fishing with Reese. He is constantly asking to go to the lake- or atleast the pond by the police station
