4th of July & Rodeo Weekend!!

Weekdays:
  • Monday - last day at Detroit Lakes!  It was a gorgeous day so we boated and hung out until 2p and then headed home in time for dinner.  We unpacked a bit, started laundry and crashed!!  What a wonderful long weekend with even better friends!!
  • Tuesday - Happy 4th of July!!  We started the day with a walk and then headed to the Delano parade.  Unfortunately some weather rolled in so we waited in our cars for about 45 mins before walking in some light rain to our spot for the parade.  It was an awesome parade and huge!!  It brags to be the oldest and largest MN 4th parade!  We then spent the afternoon swimming at the Hartys before enjoying a yummy dinner of BW3 wings!  We then did some sparklers before calling it for bedtimes since we are back to work the next day.
Been working on her bubble blowing!
Matching at the parade!

Swimming Fun!

  • Wednesday - I went into the office while Clint worked from home wrapping up his time with Cargill.  Maci was to have soccer practice but they canceled for how few kids were around with the holiday.  Connor and Clint had baseball practice at 7p and did some fun dads vs kids.  Connor’s pretty proud of pulling a double play on Clint.
