Our Journey of Love: A Fun Relaxing Fourth!

After our first family vacation {which I hope to blog about later}, we were all pretty tired from traveling, sit- seeing and simply being gone which meant a nice and easy fourth of July for us.

We lounged around the first part of the morning. Justin decided to play with Boogie's hair. He said she looked like "Rambo Boogie." I don't know why, but it still makes me laugh.

Once we were up and moving, we ventured out to the Spirit of Kansas Car & Craft Show at Lake Shawnee like we did Last Year.

We had the best little patriotic girl around! :)

We saw a bunch of different cars this year that we really liked. Of course I had to snap a few pictures of these beauties.

(I can't believe this car can pull this boat! AND they match!! haha)

{I like the history behind this car -- most of the cars have a fun story :)
As it turns out, this 1963 Thunderbird was a limited edition numbered 1 through 2,000. This particular car was #684. Princess Grace (or Grace Kelly) was the face of this car and she was presented with the very first one which now, after her death, is in the Monaco's Royal Museum.}

{This was Justin's favorite this year. Who doesn't like a Corvette?}

{My favorite! It's the same one I was drooling over last year.
I'm IN LOVE with this Bel Air!!!}

After walking around to see the crafts, sharing a cotton candy shaved ice and enjoying the weather; we headed home for lunch and naps.

Apparently the morning festivities wore the princess out. Its hard work being this cute!

While Jocelyn napped, daddy worked several hours on the garage that broke while we were gone on vacation {there's always something right? haha}, and I made yummy BBQ! Hot dogs, chicken, corn and lime basil zucchini were all on the menu to grill. SO GOOD!!

Towards the evening, we all loaded up and headed back out to the lake for some live blues music and to enjoy some more July 4th weather. I can't BELIEVE how nice it has been! I honestly can't remember July weather...in Kansas...EVER being so cool and wonderful.

Once we got back out to the lake, we set up home, chillaxed and enjoyed free music and one another.

There were some interesting characters out there that obviously had been drinking all day, or had been smoking the cheeba. This one lady, who I would guess was in her 50's, very active and lean, but a total flower child came and popped a squat way to close to us. She was totally in her own world, it was a happy world, but she was oblivious to everyone around her. She was smiling and grooving to the music -- so funny!! People watching can be so entertaining!
