Summer Fun

This weekend was the long awaited 4th of July weekend. We spent our Thursday evening at the Taste of Minnesota. We enjoyed such fare as footlong corndogs, cheese curds, bloomin' onions....and I think even a few bites of ice cream too. We had a moment to enjoy some live music; Boston and REO Speedwagon were performing. At one point I looked at my ankles and noticed they looked like baseballs- we left shortly after that.

On Friday we spend the day on Lake George; the boys played a game of Lanterball while the girls (and there were 4 other pregger's there!) sat in lawn chairs to watch the game and sun themselves. It was a beautiful day. I'll have photos to share a little later- I'm waiting for Suzanne to send them to me! Friday evening we were back in Minneapolis; we took a walk along St. Anthony Main where there was plenty of July 4th activity and the perfect end to the evening was watching the fireworks display from my parents building- I felt as though I was directly under them, they were beautiful.

Saturday, John woke up with a touch of a hangover- I wonder what those feel like these days? We were off to Bear Lake in Wisconsin that day to visit John's friend Tom. The winds were very "windy" on the beach. Trying to eat my hot dog without getting a cup of sand in my mouth was quite difficult, but eventually we made it back to the grass and the winds did die down a bit. Boche ball, cards, conversation....it was a pretty nice evening, except for the lady that actually asked me to control my dog. Excuse me? Maybe her dog was the one with the problem, damn yipper. Oh and it's been noted; Jersey does NOT like fireworks.

Sunday, John had to work at the Twins game and I got to catch up on some past due errands. We ended the evening with a delicious dinner and were in bed by 9.

We have a short week this week, John and I are taking a few days off from work to have some "vacation" together before baby arrives. I can't wait!
