Up North 2012

The boys had a blast up north! It was a funfilled day!   With lots of fishing, tubing, swimming and running around!  We spent the day with Aunt Sue and cousins Megan and Mike.  They spent many hours fishing in the paddle boat and would come back to swim.  Then it was off to tubing which Westen loved and couldn't go fast enough!  Ryder wasn't to sure and little Gus even tried it.  It was awesome having so much help from Megan and Mike with the kiddos, they loved it!  We can't  wait to go back again!

4th of July Celebration 2012

We had a lot of fun celebrating the 4th of July :)  We had a fun packed day!  We went to the Faribault water park and the boys had a blast swimming and going on the waterslides.  After the waterpark we headed back home to decorate their bike for the 4th of July Parade.  They had a ton of fun decorating and taping and more decorating! It was a steamy bike through the parade!  The boys loved every minute of it and at the end they played some carnival games :)

They were so excited to do sparkler and fireworks when we got home.  Then we were off to Grandma and Grandpa Knappers to enjoy the fireworks in the mosquito free house!  They are horrible right now and it doesn't help that its like 98 degrees out and super humid!!  We were in the heat all day so we were all ready for a break in the air conditioning!  The boys loved the fireworks and shouted out every color that went in the air.  They wanted to see more when it was done!

We hope that everyone had a very Happy 4th of July and we hope to see you soon!

Love, Laurissa, Derrick, Westen, Ryder, Augustus and baby!
