4th of July Weekend

Harlee loves when her Daddy takes a day off for fun... extra cuddle time :)

Bentley and Harlee love to maul Trent when he gets home.

To start the holiday a little early we headed to the newest water park, Schlitterbahn last Thursday with Ashley and Jerad.

Schlitterbahn was awesome! It was still nowhere near complete but had some awesome slides and a crazy cool tidal wave river (like a lazy river but with huge waves!). It was my favorite part except for the one time that Trent positioned us wayyy too close to the wave machine and it hit our double raft like a semi truck and I literally rode the wall instead of the wave. Hello headache.
On Friday, me, Trent, and my mom headed down to meet up with my dad, brother, and his girlfriend at our neighbor's cabin on Lake of the Ozarks for a nice lake weekend. Out of all the space in the car this is where Bentley chooses to ride. Ridiculous dog.

Saturday morning boat ride with my fur babies!

Bentley literally swims in the wind... it's hilarious. Unfortunately, on our first boat ride of the weekend our neighbor's boat had something go wrong with the motor so we had to get towed back to the boat slip. Bye bye wakeboarding, tubing, and skiing... maybe next time :(

But a boat mishap didn't ruin our weekend cause my brother had 2 nights of racing we got to go see! Brent's a mini-sprint car racer on the weekends and him and my dad love it. They got started in it a couple years back while Brent was in college and he keeps improving every season. It's a blast to watch those little things go flying past y0u!
Putting on the gear to go racin'! Brent's only allowed me to drive his car one time. He had his car at my parent's house and since they live in the country we can drive in our backyard. I hopped in, floored it and started spinning doughnut after doughnut. My dad and Brent were all freakin' out thinking I was gonna put myself in the pond. So even now Brent won't let me near his car anymore cause he doesn't trust what I might do ;)#55 Brent McMillan!

He's out there somewhere!

Trent took this as I was hollering and getting rowdy. I tend to be an overly enthusiastic fan at most sporting events ;) I'm going to try and get better before I have kids and become that kind of mom in the stands haha.

Sunday night races... a whole wopping one picture. I stink. After all the races were over we didn't get back to the lakehouse until 2 a.m. but still wanted to do fireworks. It was the fourth afterall. So the whole family stayed up till 4 a.m. celebrating how great it is to be an American! Needless to say all we did on Monday was sleep sleep sleep!
