Family Memories

4th of July 2016

August 11, 2016

4th of July is nearly tied with Christmas as favorite holiday in my book!  I have been spending the 4th of July on the lakes of MN since I was a kid!  There is nothing quite like sitting in a boat, cuddled up in blankets, watching fireworks burst out of the sky right above your head.  Its one of my favorite memories!!!  This year we convinced Solon to go (he thinks its so loud) and guess what he loved it!  
We spent the week at the lake doing the usual, I didn’t take many pictures, I purposed to just disconnect that week BUT we did the usual lake activities – tubing, slalom skiing, paddle boarding, sitting in the water, jet skiing, going to ice cream in the boat, happy hour cruises, hot tub time, games and lots of fires!  It was a fun fun week!
My Parents with their grandkids…they love them just a little 😉

Our 3 patriotic babes!

We had a great 4th of July 2016!  Nothing says summer like the lake and the 4th of July!  I look forward to it all year long!
