Happy Fourth Of July


What an incredible holiday weekend we had. I was a bit sad yesterday when I knew that we were back to a normal routine. Hal had the last four days off and it was so nice to spend some much needed family time together.

Thursday was spent playing outside as a family and then in the sprinklers that night. It was SOOOO hot it actually set records here in MN for the high temps. On

Friday, we spent the day hanging outside and getting some of the grocery shopping for the weekend done. That night we attended the annual Stonemill Farms Bike Parade. There weren't very many people there because it was so hot, but we had a great time riding bikes and getting to meet/greet the firemen after the parade. On

On Saturday, Sophia attended a princess party for a little neighbor girl. She had a wonderful time getting her face painted by Snow White. Then it was off to my parents pool for the day. We came back over to our house for dinner and then it was off to another neighbor's house for fireworks.

Sunday started off with a 7 mile run for myself and my friend Molly. After getting back we spent the day walking and at the park. It was another hot one. We all took an afternoon rest and got geared up for the big party. The food, fireworks, and families were amazing. I just love the fact that we only have to travel across the street!

The actual holiday seemed much more laid back. The day started off by going to Afton to see the parade. It was hot and packed. After getting home we didn't do much except for enjoy the company of our neighbors, grill, and watch several fireworks from every angle of our porch.

I love holidays and this would rank right up there, as one of the best long weekend we have spent together in quite some time.
