Independence Day

We had a great 4th of July weekend in Fargo. Although Joel called us "no lake losers" I think we had a great weekend at home. We spent most of our time outside as it was a BEAUTIFUL weekend. Friday we picked Arie up from daycare early and went to Coldstone for ice cream-Birthday Cake Remix....YUMMY!

Saturday Joel and his dad went golfing out of town so Arie and I spent the morning with Grandma Lynn at the Red Rive Zoo-Arie LOVES the zoo and all the animals, she calls most of them "puppies" and loved to pet the baby goats in the petting zoo and feed the beautiful peacocks her goldfish. We took the bike trailer out Saturday afternoon for a little spin, Arie is finally starting to warm up to it. Saturday night we set up the water stuff in the backyard and Arie got her suit on and played while Joel and I sipped on some Summer Shandy and watched her splash around, we grilled and enjoyed a gorgeous evening.
Sunday we had a pool party in the backyard again and then grilled over at Mark and Lynn's, with Mark at the grill it is always a yummy and good night! Arie spent the night at G&G's house, and Joel and I relaxed on the patio and then watched a movie.

Monday the 4th was here before we knew it, we spent the day at our good friends pool and soaked up some more sun and relaxation! Again that evening we had some bad holiday weather and spent some time all cuddled up in the basement while the sirens ran, the lightning was amazing that night, it was our "firework" show. At least this time we didn't loose power for 3 days! Hopefully everyone had a great 4th of July as well and got to spend lots of time with family and friends.
