Unrelated to the Fourth holiday, but I thought I'd just stick this in this post...on June 26th we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. I was especially surprised to get flowers, a card and a treat because we are headed to Vegas to celebrate this coming Friday.
Dana's original wedding ring is made of stainless steel and therefore is unable to be resized. He hasn't worn it for many years as it no longer fit him. I had an idea to get him a silicone ring for our anniversary and thought I'd surprise him with it in Vegas. About a week ago, he shared with me that he had the same idea. I thought for sure I'd beat him to the punch and be able to surprise him after all, even though I knew he was now on the hunt for one. Whelp, the rings we each ordered arrived to our doorstep on the same day. :-/ So, that's out. If anyone has any recommendations for a backup gift, I am all ears. :-)
Ok! Onto the Fourth. On Wednesday night we did some fireworks in our yard in the midst of a storm rolling through.
On Thursday we were invited back to Tamarack Lake again with Tessa and Chad's family.
Sissies!
Chad's brother's daughter Prairie and Clara are a week apart in age. Between being at Cousin Camp together and time spent over the Fourth, they have gotten pretty chummy. They really are so cute together. We had to get auntie's pic again this year with the two blondies.
Clara kept asking Ben to play with her, but he was wearing down fast and getting sleepy toward the end of the day. He's always so nice to her; it's no wonder she likes to play with him.
These three musketeers here hardly gave Chad's uncle, Keith, a break from tubing. It was such a beautiful day out that day.
Clara was getting pretty tired herself on the way home.
Friday we had planned to just hang out at home and do a few things. One of the things Clara has been talking about was taking the training wheels off her bike. She didn't last too long after she tipped over in the grass and the pedal scraped her toenail. Better luck next time!
It rained off and on that day, so it was a good opportunity to take in a movie. We went to Toy Story 4 and ate our weight in popcorn. The movie was so good; I cried for about half of it. :( Uff.
We were back at the lake on Saturday - Dead Lake this time. All the Froemming side hadn't gotten together for Christmas this past year, so we made up for that on Saturday. It was a nice day to be back at the lake.
Someone brought rhubarb and pineapple slushes. So good!
Bryce is the same age as Brynn so they had fun hanging out together. Bryce is super into fishing, so Brynn joined in with him.
Another little cousin and the girls got a hold of some bug zappers that basically looked like rackets. I had never seen anything like them before, but they actually seemed to work pretty well. The girls had fun taking care of the bugs in the yard.
