We had a great 4th of July! All of Magnolia & George's St. Louis cousins came up to the island and they all had a great time together. We celebrated Musa & Isa's birthdays by having a treasure hunt, dancing, and eating lots of rice crispy treats. We made a trip over to Rock Island and hiked to one of the most beautiful sand beaches around. We took turns cooking dinner, we played hot potato with the beach ball, we swung in hammocks, we lounged on the big raft, we flew kites, we played t-ball, we went to story hour, and we opened our "snack shack" for ice cream almost every night. It was a perfect summer weekend!
