A TALE OF TWO PRINCESSES: 4TH OF JULY

We decided to go spend some time up at the cabin this year to celebrate the 4th of July. We went swimming, saw fireworks, rode four wheelers, boat rides, roasted marshmallows, and Abby even tried tubing for the first time. Which she loved!! We all had lots of FUN spending time with Great grandma, Great Papa, Grandma, Papa, Aunts, Uncles, and lots of cousins. On the last day we went up to the dam, and we saw a giant snapping turtle, which I had never seen before, and I couldn't believe how mean it was. Luckily the park host/hostess stopped us before we got up to it, I was going to show the kids the giant turtle....not a good idea. They used a shovel to try and get it back into the swamp instead of heading towards the playground, and the thing would bite the shovel, thanks to Papa though he got back in the swamp. Ally is not a fan of boat or four wheeler rides, she cried the entire time on both. But she does like fireworks, and swimming. She would scream with delight after each firework she saw.

OUR CAMPER

My cousin has a camper that is parked at the cabin, so that is where we slept. Abby and Ally loved it, it had everything including a shower & toilet. Abby wondered why we ever went in the cabin, we could have lived in there all week. The kitchen table folded down into a bed the perfect size for the two girls, although Ally played musical beds most of the night. It was just too exciting for her to get to sleep in a big bed with Abby. Ally is kind of a bed hog and Abby ended up on the floor at 2 am the first night. But they still wanted to sleep together, even though there was two other beds they could have slept in.
