Week of July Fourth

July Fourth '08...Fun Times with Family & Friends


The three musketeers, joining forces to take over the world!


A special Birthday celebration for Christian before heading up to Lake Arrowhead.



Did someone say boating??? Lake Arrowhead??? I'm in!



Well, I prefer just being "in" the boat, not the ice-cold lake, Dad!



Miss Kate enjoys a long holiday nap - the best kind - in Poppa's arms.



Argh! These are some really ferocious bears in these parts!


The Funderburks "bearing" a pose...


Now "That's what I'm talkin' about!" says Lucas of his Indy car-racing with Poppa.

Uncle Mike reads a really good book with Miss Kate on the deck. She's in heaven!

Some more S'Mores??? The special treat after the firework show at the Nataupsky-White lakehouse with Aunt Cynthia.


Miss Kate enjoys the cool night air - everyone was watching the bats come out at dusk! "I think I saw one, Aunt Cynthia!" (she coos).


Our dear friends, Stacey & Neal join us for the firework show at the lake. They set them off from a barge in the middle of the lake. Amazing display this year!


Late afternoon hike along the lakeshore. The boys REALLY want to get wet!

We left Lake Arrowhead and gave the boys their opportunity for some aqua-action at Crystal Cove beach. The water wasn't much warmer than the lake, but it sure was fun trying to jump the waves...
...and play in the surf!

Some serious baking going on. Aunt Cynthia shares the ancient chocolate chip cookie receipe from Mimi - it is impossible to eat just one...and if you try the cookie dough first, you will be hooked for life! They were SOOO yummy!

Have no fear, Cap'n Underpants is here! Lucas enjoys his new shark-fin goggles. They're actually pretty scary when he swims with his head underwater. The fin sticks up and looks like a shark is headed your way!

Stay tuned... Next Post: A Rather Outstanding Dinner coming up this weekend ;o)

I think in about 10 years, maybe sooner, Captain Underpants might kill you for posting that picture. But I love it. :)
