July

Like all summers, July flew by in the blink of an eye. 

On the 3rd, we went up to the town square for a John Anderson concert. He sang Seminole Wind and Straight Tequila Night while fireworks went off in the distance. It was a memorable night!

PeePaw and Grandma Beth came to Louisville, and then to the lake, the week after the 4th.

Marshma is making up for all the hugs she missed in 2020.

Lacey and Hallie Girl had fun playing fetch together.

While Grandma Beth was at the lake, she redid our pie safe. The before:

And, the after! She did an awesome job!!!

Luke and his lake buddy, Cooper 

We spent the afternoon at Family Falls with friends and on the way out, Creed surfed their cruiser wave.

S'mores!

Caleb's lake buddy, Drew, usually spends at least one night each weekend with us. We are so thankful that the boys have made such great friends at the lake.

Tilly came to the lake the end of the month and did great on Grandmom's boat. She didn't mind her life jacket and was happy the whole time.

The boys and I took Lacey to the shore one afternoon to try and get her to like the lake. She wanted nothing to do with it and wouldn't even look at her ball in the water.

The following day we took her back, but this time I put her on a float. We made three trips from the shore out to the island and back, and while she didn't like it, she relaxed a little more each time. 

Caleb decided to switch things up and do a little wake skating. 

Working on his Instagram profile while floating in cove...not a bad way to spend the afternoon.

On the way back to the marina, Luke had us drop him off at this particular shoreline because he thought it looked like a good geode spot. :) He ended up swimming a few really cool ones back to the boat.

July really did fly by! We were able to really settle in to the new house and even got new furniture for the living room ordered. We hosted family and friends, and spent the majority of the month at the lake, with Creed burning up the road between the lake and his work. We got the boys homeschool curriculum ordered, and I even got the first few weeks mapped out. While we are always sad to see August 1st on the calendar, we are counting on a lot more lake time.
