4th of July Fun

 

I hope you all had a fun, relaxing 4th of July!  We did!  It's always nice when a holiday falls on a Saturday because you get to enjoy the weekend AND the holiday!  We did start our day out doing some cleaning/picking things up.  Last weekend we all worked in the yard together - this weekend we all worked in the house HA!  

We enjoyed a great cook out with my mom!  I made my homemade potato salad and a triple berry crisp.  We also had brats/hot dogs on the grill, corn on the cob (I can't wait for FRESH in season corn on the cob!), chips and mini-cupcakes.  It was such a great dinner!  






That was all followed by a very relaxing evening at home.  We had talked about going to see some local fireworks as a family but in the end all agreed that we did not want to go sit outside in the humid weather.  Instead we saw some out our windows and watch the 4th of July specials on TV.  

Our June was so busy I feel like the 4th snuck up on me and I forgot some of our normal traditions that I'm already making notes of for next year - T-shirts, Smoke Bombs, and Monkey Bread Muffins are high on that list!

Our weekly snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week : 


We finally got around to getting these shots - even though they finished school weeks ago. 


This was actually last Friday!  Our Friend Asa graduated and we enjoyed his open house. 


On Saturday we all worked together and did a bunch of yard work! 
On Sunday night I took Nate to work at camp again. 



And then it just got hot. 

Darryl and I went out on a date day and this photo of my favorite tacos is the only photo I took. 🤣
It’s still hot. 



Finally, we picked Nate up early from working and went right to a retirement honeymoon where a group of teens from our homeschool group provided music.  They do this 2-3 times a year.
