A break in the candy grabbing actionHappy Independence Day! But most importantly, Happy Birthday to Laura and Rob. Hope you both had a super birthday!
To celebrate the 4th and our tradition, my parents and Brian's parents came to St. Peter for the annual Old Fashioned 4th of July Parade. There are crazy people that put their blankets and tarps down DAYS before the parade to get a good spot. CRAZY! This year there were blankets down on June 30th! Seriously people...its a parade! Anyway...Brian got us a great spot and the girls were happy getting tons of candy they didn't need. This year the rain held off and we were able to stay dry. It was a very humid day however, so after the parade we headed back to our air conditioned house for pizza. The grandparents stuck around for a bit and watched The Wizard of Oz while we all rested. After they left we geared up for our friends to arrive. The Lundquists, Gilbertsons, Frey's, Schillings and Yosts all joined in the festivities this year. Despite the mosquitos we were able to have a great time. Thanks everyone for the great food and conversation! After the party we loaded up the van and headed towards the fairgrounds where the fireworks show took place. We stayed in the air conditioned/mosquito safe van and watched the show. We all had a very good day and was happy when our heads hit our pillows!!!
