4th of July

We had a great 4th of July weekend! It started out with dinner at my parents on the 3rd. Denise, Terry and Emily were up and staying at their house so we had a few drinks and pizza and then headed over to Laurie and Jeffs. There was a big crew over there celebrating and lighting off fireworks. It was a nice evening and the weather was very comfortable!

Tommy really liked the rackets!

Once again peeking through the racket!

They both had them and it got a little dangerous....

with them both pounding and swinging them around!

Tommy and Daddy!

Still couldn't get the racket away from him!

Tommy and JP decided to give a concert!

On the 4th Mike and I took Tommy to the parade in Pequot Lakes. It was a very nice parade and we had a good time there. Tommy really liked the motorcycles and fire trucks!

Waiting for the parade to start.


After the parade we headed back over to Laurie and Jeffs for the day. There were a lot of people there to hang out with. Tommy had fun playing with all the kids, jumping on the trampoline and he had his first skinny dipping experience in the lake!

We went to the fireworks in the evening and Tommy did very well. He wasn't scared at all and even fell asleep towards the end just like last year! It was a very fun 4th!
