Our Fourth of July was spent trying to stay cool. We had thought about going to the Apple Valley Parade, but with temperatures reaching 100 degrees, we shied away and went to the Eagan Community Center for some indoor fun. The afternoon was spent in the backyard kiddie pool where the girls kept cool. Allie and Katie thought I should get in the pool with them, which I eventually did and it was quite refreshing! The girls were so tired by 8:30 that I decided to fore go fireworks and just put them to bed. Maybe next year we will stay awake for fireworks!
We traveled up to the lake on the 5th of July. It was fun to spend the day with my parents, my sister and her family and my brother and his family. The weather was beautiful, perfect for swimming. We spent over an hour swimming in the lake. I was so proud of my little peanuts! Katie and Allie both jumped off the dock by themselves, with their life jackets on of course. Katie tried it first and it took my little Allie a while to decide that she wanted to do it, but she did! I was able to keep them awake on the car ride home by bribing them with Dora and Diego movies. I had to make an unexpected trip to the lake on July 6th. because I forgot my wallet at a grocery store in Cold Springs. The girls made the trip with me and we were able to go swimming with Jaci for a bit before heading home. A stop at the Dairy Queen on the way home was a special treat for all of us.
