Red, White, and Blue 2009

We headed down to Lake Wylie for the annual 4th of July lunch, boat ride and fireworks! This was the first year that Paxson really seemed interested in swimming with his cousins in the lake. Gracie Myers and Libby Claire stuck to the baby pool!

Paxson will dig and dig and dig in the sand!

Mac, Meredith, Beau and Maggie

Gracie Myers had fun dumping water over her head over and over.

Soaked Baby Girl!

Paxson made his way into the water by himself!

Working on his free-style!

Mac is airborne thanks to Uncle Bill

Loving Libby Claire's pigtails!

Paxson is always so kind and gentle to younger kids, cousins included. He had fun playing with Libby Claire in the sand.

She wasn't as crazy about having the sand on her hands, so he carefully wiped it off for her.

Red, White, and Blue all the way down the the shorts!

Mr. America!

Happy 4th of July!
