To celebrate the 4th of July among friends and families, some of us Stone Mountain people packed up our minivans and headed to Lake James (just about an hours drive) for the weekend. The rental house was beautiful...right on the lake with plenty of room (and dishes) for all of us celebrators. We watched a fantastic fireworks display over the lake and then had a little show of our own (David cleans the windows for a family that "tips" in South Carolina fireworks).
Here is a photo of one of the many swimming sessions of the weekend. The water was warm and so clear.....with some waves every now and then from a passing motorboat or jet ski. The combo of the beautiful weather, lovely water, and a bunch of flotation devices made for fun times for parents and children alike.
Noah and Banyan have added fishing to their list of favorite activities. They had a lot of fun not catching anything.

Fitting 20 people in the house (10 kids/10 adults) was no easy task. It was certainly the largest slumber party I had been to since high school. David and I took the screened porch as our room. 7:30 am (when the kids started waking up....yes, all 10 of them) seemed to come very early after staying up until 3:00 keeping the gin company. Some midnight adult only swims kept us awake later than most nights.....
