Happy 4th of July

We watched the fireworks with some friends in Apple Valley. Colton loved them, although he did get a little bored towards the end.

Then on Thursday Frankie and I both had the day off so we went to Lake Elmo. I was so excited because I just bought new beach chairs but as you can see Colton seems to think I bought them for him!

Friday night we headed to the lake again. It was a hot weekend, but perfect for swimming! It also was the weekend that the campground decided to do their festivities for the 4th! Every year they have a bike parade on the 4th but this year it was pushed to Saturday. All the kids in the campground decorate their bikes... and the adults decorate their golf carts (sad I know). Well we decided that we would decorate ours Vikings style (remember this campground is in Packer Territory). It was a lot of fun, although I did get hit with a water balloon by one salty packer fan and we got chased with a water gun by another, but it was 95 degrees so it actually felt pretty good.

We even hung a packer guy off the back so we could beat it with a stick all through the parade! It was awesome. Although I think they might be kicking us out of the campground after this, just kidding.
