4th of July Weekend

We had a relaxing, fun-filled, family 4th of July weekend!

 

We started on Wednesday night with fireworks.  We went to watch the local fireworks, but decided to watch them from the roof of our car!  It was a win-win..the kids go to watch fireworks...and we were the 1st ones out of the parking lot and home by 10pm!  :)  I love when a plan actually works!

We began our 4th of July with donuts with the Glures.  We then headed over to our local town parade.  I LOVE that we live in a town that has a small town feel.  We were at the end of the parade and thought the kids might get the short end of the stick, but it was the opposite.  The girls made out like bandits because everyone was giving us all their stuff!

My patriotic girls watching the parade.  Oh, this reminds me...when Caitlin grows up, she wants to be a Jessie White Tumbler!  ;)  She told us that a lot!

We ended the 4th of July at a BBQ at the Glures.  It was a great day!

 

Rob had to work on Friday, the 5th.  After the girls finished their swim lessons, we headed up to the cabin with Nana.  Friday was the most perfect day at the cabin.  The sun was out, it was a great temperature, Auntie Stina was there...and there were cocktails to be enjoyed!!!  Rob and Papa both came up later after work and we ended the evening watching fireworks on the porch around the new firepit table.

 

Saturday was a fun day. Rob had 8 guys come up because they were going on a golf outing the next day.  So there was lots of activities to be done...soccer, washers, frisbee, teeball, ladderball, etc.  And a few beers too!  It was a great day!  And as always, here are some pictures from our super fun weekend at the cabin.

The two fish in the water.  Friday they literally swam for 5 hours in a row!  And they are old (and tall) enough that they can swim alone...so they never have to come out of the lake as long as someone is watching them!

No trip to the lake is complete without a golf cart ride!  I love that Nana drove them..and both the girls wanted to sit in the back with Auntie Stina. 

 

Is there anything better than a place where golf cart is your form of transportation???  :)

Auntie Stina taught Abigail how to make bubbles with her hand and then catch them!

A serious game of ladder ball.  I LOVE the action of Caitlin..and Abigail's Amish look!  Nana looks impressed with Caitlin!

Isn't this a great picture?  I love it!  And of course, Caitlin has her "pose"..the girl has it in every picture!

 

The yard full of fun!

Happy 4th of July from our 3 little fishies!!!!!
