Whew - what a weekend!
It was full of family, friends, fun, and of course fireworks.
It started with a visit to Sheldon where we were able to play at Grandma Nel's house and spend time with our dear friends, the Van Meeteren's.
Marie & Piper hit it off right away with coloring and puzzles while Bennett & Max became acquainted through hugging and wrestling.
It was a short but sweet visit we are so thankful we got to have!
After dinner with Grandma Nel we headed to Spencer where Aunt Liz & Uncle Andrew, Aunt Katie, Uncle Nate, and Grammy & Papa were waiting.
We had plenty of fun that night playing with all 3 dogs - Cali, Gus, and Maya.
On the 4th we enjoyed a relaxing morning followed by time on the boat.
The weather was warm but windy so we didn't stay on the lake too long.
Next we went to Arnold's Park for ice cream, rides, and a funnel cake.
The kids love the rides there and they are getting very confident with all of them.
That evening we enjoyed a delicious grilled dinner followed by fireworks, glow in the dark bubbles, sparklers, and of course playing with the puppies.
Saturday morning we enjoyed a brunch with the family celebrating Papa & Grammy's retirement.
After a much needed afternoon nap, we once again drove to the lakes for boating, swimming, tubing, and more Arnold's Park.
We completed our weekend with supper from Bob's drive inn - one of our favorites- and a quiet drive home with sleepy kids and sleepy dogs.
Our 4th of July celebrations were fun-filled and well worth the driving and exhaustion.
June flew by and we are looking forward to the rest of our summer!
