Lake Day 7

This was our last full day at the lake.  This day we had the birthday party for the 4 summer birthday kids.  Finley, Cainan, "S" and "E".  2 June, and 2 July.  And this day, July 1st, was my 36th birthday.  (boo).

We swam in the lake for the last time, and then had the party at lunch time before the littlest birthday kiddos had to take a nap.  We decided to have a Toy Story party since 3 of the 4 were boys, and Finley likes Toy Story.  Uncle Zac also bought two pinatas for the kids to swing at.  With a bat.  In the house.  He is the coolest uncle on the planet.

That evening we went out to dinner - our lake tradition on our last night on vacation.  We are now a party of 22 people - so the restaurant was a little surprised to see us.  But they were sweet and accommodating and we had a delicious dinner to celebrate our 4th trip to the lake as a family.

Enjoy the pictures:
