Getting ready for the 4th!

It's that time, Lakemont, so get out your red, white and blue and get ready for some patriotic fun!  You all have gotten a flyer in your mailbox but to reiterate, we're sending the info via "gaggle" as well.

Also anyone interested in buying mini flags to line their curbside can buy 10 for $10 through Kathleen Foit.  She will need these orders by Thursday to get them in time for the 4th.  Proceeds from these sales as well as any additional donations will be given to the Roswell Fire Department who has always been so good to us over the years in donating their time and energy to our celebration!

10-10:30 Parade!

11:15 Fire Truck Fun

12:15'ish Picnic and Talent Show

Last names beginning with letters A-I:  please bring a main dish (fried chicken, hot dogs, grilled meat, etc)
Last names beginning with letters J-Z: please bring a side dish (mac and cheese, salad, beans, etc)

Lemonade, water and dessert provided by the Lakemont Homeowners Association. Don't forget your chairs, optional beverages and sunscreen. Swimsuits may be a consideration as there will be water games!

We hope to see you all there!

It's official, the Rapps will be hosting two weddings!

It's another pretty girl for the Rapp household!  This raven haired beauty arrived Thursday, June 23 weighing in at 7lbs 1oz and 21inches long!  Her name?  Britton Eileen of course!

Mom and dad couldn't be prouder, big brother, Gregory, is thoughtfully optimistic about another sister and big sister, Natalie, is just thrilled mom would go through all this for the best baby doll EVER!

Welcome, Britton!  Don't get too big, too fast!

Remember Fear Factor?

Well, I heard it's coming back.  That's not what this post is about, however.  My own personal fear factor would be attending the below event.  Seriously.

I know all of you don't feel about snakes the way I do so with that in mind I'm passing along the following.  Forgive me if I don't ask how it went....: )

Please join everyone's favorite National Park Ranger Jerry Hightower for another great nature program:
