lake day + sparklers
Since Aaron and I were feeling much better after our illness over the weekend, on the 4th of July we decided to go to the lake. Rick & Michelle came with us, but they were not feeling well, so their participation was minimal. Rylie hadn’t been to the lake since August last year when she was […]
