We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.
We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year.
Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin.
Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together.
It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue cookie bars. I thought they turned out pretty well.
It was a hot and windy afternoon, but we still got some boating time in.
I can tell even from this far away that I was blabbering on about something. It felt good to get some sun, even though I could have joined Oliver, Dad and Tessa in the water as it was pretty warm actually.
Cheers!
Making kabobs for dinner. They were so delish.
Even though we spent most of our time over at Tessa and Chad's, we still managed our annual pic with Auntie Tessa. 💜
On Saturday we had our annual Froemming get-together at Holly and Kevin's lake place.
It was a beautiful day for visiting and sharing good food. So much so that I realized I had hardly taken any pictures!
