July started out with a bang {pun intended} and hasn’t slowed down yet. On July 2nd we loaded up the Escape and headed to lake Okoboji for the first of many miles that we were about to travel. We got to spend the 4th on the lake and take part in the first official Laune family reunion. 19 of us (little ones included) made the trip to Trent’s aunt and uncle’s place for some good old fashioned family bonding.
Everyone loves a boat ride…
Ellie didn’t last too long on our boat ride. She snuggled right up to me and was out in no time!
Nothing says America more than a little patriotic outfit…It wasn’t the warmest 4th of July, but sacrifices were made to sport shorts and a tank top.
Preparing the all American 4th of July dinner with burgers and corn on the cob…
A storm rolled in just before fireworks were set to start. Probably the best way to watch fireworks is with lighting all around. I joked that it was God’s way of saying, “Fireworks, shmireworks. Look what I can do!”
This little firecracker had all sorts of fun over the weekend…
Kooper enjoyed her first 4th of July and also sported her own patriotic outfit…
All the nieces and nephew on the Laune side enjoying their time together.
I am so thankful for freedom and everything that comes with it. Because of it we were able to enjoy a nice 4th of July weekend. Let’s face it…We ate, we swam, we ate, we relaxed, we ate, we caught up, we ate, we had fun! Did I mention that we ate? Oh, and for all those skeptics out there…family reunions can be fun!
