swimming fun in Tennessee

The weekend before the 4th we headed to Tennessee for a long weekend full of family fun!  It was a SUPER hot weekend but we cooled off with pool time A LOT!!!  2 grandparents, 8 parents, 1 great grandfather and 13 grandchildren = a loud and crazy 4 days but OH SO FUN!!!!

I'm so thankful to have close relationships with my siblings, their families and my parents!

There are a lot of fun swimming pictures...but I couldn't leave out too many! :)

 Addelyn was SPOILED by her older cousins!!  Anna Blair and Rebecca played with her CONSTANTLY..precious girls!!!
