Our Fourth of July weekend didn't start out too hot when Brynn came down with a flu bug on Friday night. She was pretty down and out all day on Saturday and popped out of her room on Sunday morning wondering when we were going to leave for the lake. Thankfully we weren't planning on going anywhere until then anyhow and that it didn't last any longer for her.

We first went to Tamarac with my sister's family and her in-laws. It just wouldn't be Fourth of July if we didn't get to spend some time out there, so we appreciate going each year.

It also wouldn't be Fourth of July if we didn't do our annual nieces pic of Clara and Prairie. They are only about a week apart in age.
Wanda gave the kids paint to mess around with, emphasis on the mess. Haha. They took to body art with it.
The body painting gave way to a parade idea. Here is Reagan getting the line-up organized.
It was a fine parade! Here is video of the live action:
We met Dana's parents for supper and spent the rest of our time at their cabin until we came back to Fargo on Tuesday. We sure lucked out with great weather this year...and I hate to jinx it, but hardly a mosquito!
Brynn made an obstacle course and roped Dad into tackling it. He did quite well!
Redneck bath at the lake! hehe
Brynn thought we should have our own paddle boat parade Tuesday morning so Monday night she worked hard on signs to decorate our 'float.'
On our float. We picked up another paddle boat float along the way which I'm sure made us a legitimate parade at that point.
We didn't have any candy to toss or anything, but one cabin actually handed out treats to us! These adorable eagle treats were the cutest!
Root beer floats on Tuesday...
We did some small fireworks in our backyard.
