July 3rd - Time with Friends

Ahhhh - holiday's. You gotta love them - especially when you get a day off work and even better, when it is a Friday!!!! We started the day off by sleeping in a bit, after being out at the Taste of MN the night before. Our buddy Adam spent the night so I made a big breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon. Then Adam helped Brian tear up the carpet in the basement so we can start remodeling the bathroom downstairs. After all of that was done we mowed the lawn so we could enjoy the rest of the weekend.



We were one of the only other couples/friends in town for the weekend so we called up our friends Matt and Jenni to see what they were up to. They were heading over to Matt's parents house. They live on a private lake and so we went out and skied for a little bit and the boys got some great bare footing in, along with a couple of good wipe outs too...which i did not catch on camera. We stayed there for dinner with Matt's parents and sister and then headed over to their townhouse in Blaine.Upon arrival at the townhouse we cracked open a couple of beers and started playing bocee ball. It was a lot of fun and our friend Nick joined us too. Then we were wishing we had fireworks to light off. They guys wanted us to go buy some from somewhere and we said no. Jenni thought they had some in the garage but could not find them, so finally we went to go buy them under the white tent at Menard's (according to Matt). There was no white tent at Menard's, so we ended up going to Target. In the meantime on our way back to the house, Brian calls and says, "we found the fireworks, we don't need any." Uh...we just bought some...oh well - more to light off. We had a lot of fun lighting off both the legal and illegal fireworks. Then we started a bonfire and made smores. It was a great night!!!!
