We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend at the cottage in Spring Lake. The whole Richardson crew was there, along with all of the Mayras, even Grandpa Mike and Grandma Lisa were here from China! We are so blessed that we go to spend such precious time with family and friends.

| One of the highlights of the weekend was a trip to the Front Porch Ice Cream Shop where we polished off a 5 foot banana split...most of the kids decided that vanilla cones sounded better! |
