4th of July Weekend

We had a GREAT holiday weekend. We had Eric's side of the family over Friday night for dinner and enjoyed some fun in our backyard. Everyone was in town to celebrate Eric's grandma's 75th birthday! Here Milo and Teddy are enjoying a treat!

We headed up to Kewaunee on Saturday for our annual 4th of July and Lucy's B-day celebration! Grandpa and Aunt Nancy joined us which always means a good time. We went to the "Shrimp Dump" in town and it was a beautiful day!


I can't believe Lucy Rae is 3! We had so much fun celebrating her and she loved opening her gifts!

My sister is a great mom, Lucy used to be afraid of the Count on Sesame Street and then chose to get over her fear by "loving" the Count (she calls him Count Dracula!) so Lucy requested a Count cake and Kim came through! Lucy was THRILLED!

Yum cake!

We went to a kiddie amusement park for her birthday and it was a BLAST! The rides were either 25 or 50 cents, not a bad deal! Milo and Lucy loved the rides!

I think Milo thought he was really driving this boat.

But by far the train ride was Milo's favorite, big surprise!

Playing with the jeep fire works, instead of taking them away I took a picture!

A couple "fireworks" for the kids before bed. Don and Eric had fun setting off more after the kids were in bed, including these awesome latterns that lit up and floated away over the lake.

Milo LOVES fire trucks so we had to take a few pics by this old Kewaunee engine.
