4th of July Fun!

The 4th of July is one of my favorite times of the year.  Not only are we celebrating the wonderfulness of our country, but I always end of spending time with wonderful people!  We spent the first part of the weekend with Matt's immediate family at his parents' lake home in Hackensack.  The festivities then headed to Bemidji where we had our annual BBQ with Matt's extended side of the family at his grandma's house on the lake.  Our friends Rachel and Mitch arrived on Sunday to finish out the holiday weekend with us.  We spent a day and a half on their wakeboarding boat laughing, learning to wake surf, soaking in the sun, and enjoying each others company.  We always end up having fun when those two are around!

We also had a visit from my long time friend, Morgan, on the 4th.  Although her time in Minnesota was short, she made the drive to Bemidji to see us and our one month old baby, Maci.  We were so glad she was able to come spend the evening with us and take in the fireworks show! 

I can't believe the 4th is over!  This means my summer is half over, my daughter is a month old already, and she's officially celebrated her first major holiday with us.  Time is flying, but I guess it would when you're having as much fun as we do!
