Summer Fun

We had a great 4th of July. It was a long day, but a fun filled day. We started with our ward breakfast at 9:30 a.m. The boys played baseball with all the other kids and I had a good visit with friends.
Then we headed to get our friends Harry, Gricelda, and Abby for the parade. We stopped at Subway to get lunch and then found our favorite place for the parade. We have found a place where no one sits so our kids are able to get tons of candy because no one else is around. The boys love the parade every year and Andrew and Jacob liked showing Abby what to do at the parade.


After the parade we went over to Harry's house for a bbq. We had hamburgers, hotdogs and brats. It was nice to let the kids run around while we visited. The Chaska City fireworks are done over a lake that is close to Harry's house, so we were able to sit in their front yard and watch the fireworks. The boys thought they were great. We also bought sparklers for the boys. As Jacob was putting the sparkler on the grass and on his shoe I wondered why do we give a stick with fire on it to a 3 year old. What were we thinking!!


Friday night our neighbors invited us over for a bbq also. The boys loved making smores in the backyard. We are so grateful to have wonderful neighbors who take care of us out here in MN.


Out here in Minnesota the Lutheran church is really big. There is a Lutheran elementary school here that puts on a lot of community events that are free. In June I took the boys to the summer event. They had free lunch and lots of games for the kids. I'm always amazed at what fun things they do for the community and it is all FREE.
