With the 4th of July on a Sunday this year, we kind of made a whole weekend out of celebrating. On Saturday the 3rd Craig went and golfed with some buddies in the morning and the wives and kids got together for a yummy breakfast. We then met them at the Star parade. It was crazy hot already by 10:00 am but we all had a great time and the kids got loaded, like more than Halloween loaded, with candy. That afternoon we headed up to Craig's parents house to BBQ and swim. We were too cheap to buy fireworks, surprise surprise, and we had the intentions of taking Brooklyn to the Star fireworks Sunday evening, but she lost that privilege with some not so great choices, so we all went to bed fairly early instead.
Since the 4th was Sunday, most of America got Monday the 5th off from work, but not Craig. So he went off to work, but the kids and I headed up to the lake with Grandma and cousins to cool off. We all had a blast tubing, skiing and jumping off the dock. As my Dad would always say, "even a bad day at the lake is better than a good day at the office." These are the days that I'm so grateful to be a stay at home mom. It was a great weekend filled with a lot of family and friends. Even with how divided our country seems sometimes, it's nice to have a holiday where everyone can agree that we live in the greatest country in the world.
