After church that morning we spent the rest of the afternoon eating yummy barbecue and sitting/swimming/playing in the lake. All the kids were asleep for about an hour and a half so I actually got to relax in the water. It was nice :) Micah loved the lake. I think it had a lot to do with the lack of waves like the ocean ;) He swam with his floaties on and sat FOREVER on a big float with Zach. It was one with a mesh middle so it felt like his only private pool. Connor loved the water the first five minutes we were in it on Friday and then decided he didn't like the mushy bottom sucking him down. He finally sat with me in the water for awhile and was content but he mostly just liked standing on the ladder part of the baby slide feeling like the king of the world. Silas was a dang fish. He crawled everywhere since it was very shallow and cared nothing at all whenever he fell under. Amazing how different kids can be!
That night after Connor and Silas were asleep we went to the Louisiana Lions Camp to watch the fireworks. Steph's grandfather was the director there for many years and still lives on the property. In fact her whole family are the ones who put the fireworks display on. We already knew going in that Micah would be TERRIFIED of the noise but we've been working on plugging our ears during scary noises instead of leaving or freaking out. He was visibly nervous the entire time and whenever he's fingers slipped he'd start to cry but you could tell he liked the colors and bursts so Zach helped him with the ear plugging thing and he made it through the whole thing. I was a proud mama!
