Meghan & Family Visit + Happy 4th of July!!

Monday : 

• Happy birthday to Grandma Janet!
• We had a typical busy Monday with work and kids at camp
• Maci had her final FDP soccer practice in the evening, lovely night 

Tuesday : 

• I met up with 2 former co-workers turned friends - Megan and Lisa at COV - such a pretty night on the patio having drinks and apps that Megan and I decided to have one more drink at another spot b/c we didn't want to end the fun - turns out we ran into the entire Cargill finance leadership team which is who we both worked with before leaving about 3 years ago - such a fun night!

Me, Lisa and Megan at COV - So Fun!

Wednesday : 

• Meghan and family landed around 530p
• Clint picked up the kids and dropped them with me before he headed to the airport to pick them up
• I then headed to the park for Maci's select soccer overview and then her final game of FDP
• Maci was super excited to have a cheering section with Meghan and family joining - she hustled like no other and is super excited for try outs in mid July 

Maci's Final FDP Soccer Game, Such a Cute Shot!

Maci enjoying a slumber party pal, cousin Hailey, for a few days!

Thursday : 

• Meghan and family headed to Mall of America while Clint and I worked at home and the kids had one final day of camp for the week 
• Clint took Maci to her hip check and they confirmed she is DONE getting annual hip checks - she was a breach baby so wore a brace for her hips at a young age for about 10 weeks
• Once my whole crew was home, Meghan and fam arrived back from MOA and we had a lovely grill out on the deck thanks to Christian's cooking skills 
• Meghan and I then ran the kids to Honey Mackie for some ice cream before hanging with the guys over NBA finals and cocktails

Some kids are pretty excited for Honey & Mackie's ice cream!

Maci really loved lil Simba - AKA Mini Rosie

Friday : 

• Yay long holiday weekend!!!!
• We got up and took a walk with the dogs and just adults - lovely!
• After our walk and some breakfast we got everyone ready for a day at Valleyfair amusement park
• The kids and adults had a blast and lasted all the way until park close at 7p
• We picked up some Wendy's on the way home and then put kids down after a hot day in the sun

Saturday : 

• Up and at 'em and getting ready for the Edina 4th of July parade!  So excited it was back this year, we love taking the kids here
• The Harty's caravanned with us and it was a great time for all involved!
• On the way home we stopped by Arhaus and ordered our 2 leather chairs for the living room, really excited about these
• We then hung out while the guys picked up lunch and some brews for a day of swimming at the Harty's
• Post lunch we were off to the Harty pool which felt lovely on a hot day!
• We then had a sitter come to watch all 9 kids - go Kaitlin!  So we could enjoy a nice dinner at River Inn outside - so yummy and fun
• We relieved the sitter so she could go on her date and we put the kids to bed 
• We then met back up at the Harty's for cornhole/drinks and at some point moved over to the Kavanaugh's for hammershloggin and more bags/cocktails ;)

Sunny Morning at the Parade

The forced smiles aren't signs of bad moods just staring in the sun HA

Sunday : 

• Some of us woke up pretty tired after a 1a bedtime and a few too many brews during the day/night etc.
• We had a slow paced morning of laundry, packing for Meghan's fam etc
• At 11a Clint and Nate took the crew to the airport b/c they were heading to WI for fireworks after dropping them
• Once the guys got home, we all headed to the pool for a super HOT 4th of July
• The kids played and swam great, we played bags which entertained them until dinner, we had BW3 wings feast for dinner and then did some more swimming/playing until it was finally time for sparklers and fireworks
• The fireworks were great and we wrapped right when the cops were swinging through our neighborhood, nice timing ;-)
• Happy 4th of July all - we hope you had a wonderful day with family and friends!!!!

Tena and I were having coffee together as the crew left to the airport
