An Early 4th of July Vacation

We just got back from a wonderful vacation at our friend's house on the St. John's River. The setting was a-maz-ing!
This was the view from the family room windows:
 Another view from the family room:
 Speaking of the family room... this was the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Just look at all those windows!
 Did you notice this amazing little sitting area by the dock with wooden gliders? It was so beautiful out here in the mornings!
 Even our suburban boy embraced his woodsy side with a new camo hat.
 During the day we all would head out on the boat for swimming and tubing.
When we stopped for swim breaks, the kids particularly enjoyed being thrown off the back of the boat into the water:
 Payton had the BEST time tubing. He loved every second of it... even when he flipped off! (Sorry, no pictures of that, as I was about to jump in to get him. Fortunately, he was perfectly fine.)
 Even the littlest one got to hang out on the tube (when the boat was anchored of course):
 All of the swimming and fresh air really knocked Parker out!
 And in the evenings, we would go for sunset cruises:
 And search for alligators and turtles laying on log branches:
 It was the perfect getaway with an amazing family. Thank you so much for having us!
