Happy 4th!!

Like every year, we had another FUN 4th of July weekend! The only VERY disappointing thing about it was that I forgot my camera!!!! So..... no pictures :(

We started our great weekend on Friday. Jesse usually has Fridays off, but worked a half day, despite the horrible hot and humid weather. For anyone that kind of weather is icky, but for him, being a welder, its especially HOT! While he was working, I was at home packing everything and everyone, for our camping trip to my grandmas.

Most would think that's not a camping trip but for us it is! My grandparents used to do a LOT of camping. Every weekend in the summer, but with my grandpa being a truck driver, driving all week and then more on the weekend was getting to be to much for him. So now the camper has a spot in the yard that it stays in all year round. Other family members have also brought their campers. Now there is a circle of 4 campers. Their own little campground!

So, when we camped there this last weekend, we brought our tent and put it up right next to all the rest of the campers! I love tent camping! Jesse and I have an air mattress and so do the twins. We set up Addy's pack-n-play for her and all slept like babies! :)

My grandparents also have a huge pool, fully surrounded by a deck, which is SUPER nice! That is where you could find the twins and I from the time we woke up from the time we went to bed. Getting out to eat and go to the bathroom! It was wonderful...and relaxing :)

Jesse went fishing with his brother, Dan on Sat for the day, bringing back about 60 pan fish. He also, despite the sunscreen he put on, got HORRIBLY sun burned! :( He is feeling a little better now, but has been left with nasty blisters throughout his whole body. Needless to say he was dreading work this morning.

We came back home Sunday night. We had planned on finding a sitter for little Addy and taking the twins to see the fireworks at Elk Point, but by the time we got home and were ready to leave, the twins were so exhausted from the long weekend they stayed home also. That left Jesse and I some time to spend with each other! :) The firework show was amazing, just like past years!

Monday, I did some cleaning and laid around the house til we went to my other grandparents that evening. My sister spent a week in Mexico for a missions trip, so we had a coming home party for her. She showed a slide show of pictures that she took and talked about some fun things that they did. Later, we had a bomb fire and fireworks. By the time we got home last night we were so full of the fun times the last four days, we all went right to bed...even Addy!

Even though, we had a fun filled weekend, we did not neglect to think of all the men and women out there that are or have fought for this country to make our fun weekend possible. I think of, and thank the many family members and friends that we have that have or are serving in the many different branches of the military.
THANK YOU! :)
