The 4th

We finally had the chance to slip away to Okoboji this summer for the 1st time. We were all very happy to be able to celebrate the 4th of July with family and friends. 

Stella, Linda and Porter tubing!

P with sparklers on the 4th. 

Park across the street from the house. We didn't spend much time there bc the Mosquitos were SO bad with all the rain! But we did manage a few trips there. 

Cuddle time. 

We met up with the Ricklefs crew one afternoon! So much fun! 

Kids loved learning to knee board. :-) we hope to try water skies next, but they weren't on board with that this trip. 

Last night we celebrated Owen and Hadley's bdays! Heather and Jason hired a sno cone truck to stop by. The kids were in heaven!
Porter and Owen 

Kids lined up for their sugary treat!

P is doing a camp through Living History Farms this week M-F from 9-4. And ALL of the neighbor kids are gone this week! I've had such a good time with Stella the last couple of days. Normally she'd be off with her homies, but we've been chilling' and I've really enjoyed it. Today we spent a good 4 hours rearranging her room, organizing, tossing, etc. She wanted to move all her American Girl doll stuff to the basement so we did that many made an AGD area down there for to play. That freed up a lot of space in her room. She loves the new layout!

the knee boarding looks like fun! The snow cone truck sounds like a blast as well. It is always fun to purge if the child is willing! YAY!!
