Hey everyone! Hope summer is treating you well. :) It may seem like we have been really busy since I am a bit behind on my blogging. Never fear, the next two weeks I should be all caught up! Last summer we took the best road trip. If you missed that, you can read about it starting HERE. This year, we went back to Nebraska for a friend's wedding, see friends and family, and get out of the heat for a little while.
We found out the first day we left the power went out in our neighborhood. It was out for 18 hours!! Then they turned it back on, and it went out again on Saturday afternoon. I guess it was a great time for us to be away. So while we could have been there stuck in the heat, we were out having fun!
We spent the first weekend at the lake. It was very busy due to the fourth of July, but we managed to get a little jet skiing in.
We caught the fireworks at the lake on the third. I thought we looked a little redneck...What do you think?
We had a great view of the fireworks!
The next day on the fourth, Matt was ready to get in on the spirit!
We headed back up to the lake to watch the Dog Parade. Yes, it is as awesome as it sounds! My parents are building a new cabin so we had to clean up the driveway a bit before we could put our chairs out to watch.
Matt was super excited, and also possibly embarrassed I posted these pictures.
So this is the 16th year of the dog parade I believe. Don't worry, I documented most of the parade for your viewing.
So cute!! Lots of kids and animals.
We headed back to Bertrand and finally purchased our fireworks. We love snaps!
We then immediately went home to shoot off our fireworks. We each got our own box of snaps! haha, we are pretty fun! :)
We headed into town to watch the fireworks for the fourth. Again we had a great view.
We spent the next few days doing various things. Matt helped Nolan on the farm. We were able to go see quite a few friends and family. So sorry if we missed you! We also headed back to the lake for more fun. It was much less busy during the middle of the week.
Matt chose to sit lay in the front of the boat when we went out for a ride.
They did a little wake boarding,
and skiing.
My mom was out for a bike ride while we were on the boat.
We came back to light up our last firework, the lantern.
Unfortunately, the wind was blowing about 50 miles per hour so this was all the further it got before it ripped into pieces...
I also went out to help Nolan work.
And we helped him haul some pipe.
We were the best pipe hauling crew ever! Well at least the most entertaining for sure.
We spent the last few days of our trip at my friend, Angela's wedding. I will document more of that in my next post. Talk to you again soon! :)
