Lately

Summer is quickly slipping by which means that this household is starting to sprint into school mode.  Ahhh, I can’t believe it!

We have gone to the eye doctor, school supply shopped, and I have begun to ready my library decorations for this year.

But no worries, we still have made time for the lake, friends, and the pool.

I have to say though that this week has worn us out.  Trying to pack in as much fun as we can along with a little school work here and there has us all tuckered out.

Minnesota Trip

We went on a family trip to Minnesota for 6 days.  We enjoyed spending time with family, going through Mall of America, and hanging at the lake cabin.

4th of July 2015

We started a long weekend at the lake by driving into a nearby town for supper with Aunt Kati and Tim.  (Unfortunately, no pictures were taken.  It was SO good to see them!  We certainly love out Aunt Kati.

The rest of our time was dedicated to the lake.  We swam, we ate, we played, we had boat rides, and did water sports. 

Scott and Amy added to the festivities by bringing fireworks and water balloons.  The boys (both big and small) had fun with those!

One of the highlights of the 4th at the lake is the boat regatta.  Basically, it’s a boat parade.  The boats are decorated and then driven around the lake.  We all sit out on our docks and cheer them on, or throw water balloons if you’re into that tomfoolery:)

The 4th is so fun, festive, and enjoyable at the lake.  But hanging out with family makes the lake the most fun for all.

Three cousins in a row

The daylight ‘'kid friendly” fireworks were commencing.  We had two curious cousins right up front.
