4th of July weekend is always the weekend that my family comes. On Friday night we had our new neighbors come over for a grill out. Gail and Dennis are from Sioux City, IA and their daughter, Paige is a very gifted guitar player and musician. Paige and my niece Ashley are both from Iowa, and they are both in show choir. Needless to say they had a lot in common and ALL the kids knew the songs Paige played on the guitar. It was really fun to see all the talent...and smiles.

We spent a lot of time in the water over the weekend the weather was wonderful.
The kids floated on rafts, played in the row boat, skied, tubed and swam. Ashley hit a milestone, she finally slalom skied. It was pretty exciting.
