Happy Fourth of July!

For the fourth, we headed up to Crystal Mountain in northern Michigan with Nathan's family. It was a great little get-away and Tommy had a blast with all of his cousins!

Looking out at the river with Grandpa Batts.

Getting ready to go fishing! Watching daddy very closely.

Tommy's first time fishing- he had fun!

Sitting with mommy, just waiting for the fish to bite.

After fishing, Tommy got to sit on Grandpa's motorcycle and push all of the buttons. He thought it was pretty cool!

Crystal Mountain has a great water park for the kids-Tommy was a little "scary" of the slide and would only do it with daddy or one of his older cousins.

We drove to Frankfort for the fireworks and even had time for ice cream before.

Watching the fireworks- Tommy LOVED them, but thought they were really loud, so he kept his hands over his ears the entire time. Now he asks every morning if we can go see fireworks again.

Riding the Alpine Slide with daddy- they were the winners!

Walking with his cousin, Bridgette. Tommy is 3 months older and they are so cute to watch.

Bridgette must be a good listener because I think that Tommy usually does most of the talking :)

Sitting at the pool with Grandma Batts.

We rode the chairlift to the top of the mountain. It was a gorgeous night.

All of the Batts cousins! Bridgette (2), Madelyn (8), Tommy (2), Audrey (6), Ellie (4), and Annaliese (3).

Eating ice cream (chocolate of course!) and walking at the same time- pretty talented!

One last trip to the water park before going home!
