The 4th of July was a fun weekend but it’s hard to believe it was over a month ago. Summer sure is flying by. This year we split our time out at the lake between Brad and Anita’s lake place and Jason and Jerene’s lake place. The weather was great all weekend long. We headed out to Lake Lizzie where Brad and Anita have a cabin and spent all day soaking up the sun and playing in the water. (Jacob was with his dad this year for the 4th so I didn’t get to see him until Monday the 4th.) Brec and Isabel came up from the cities for the weekend too. We went Jet Skiing, pontoon riding and tubing. I was sore for several days after from all the tubing, but it was a lot of fun. MaKena loved riding on the Jet Ski with daddy and would have ridden it all day if we would have let her. She did a little fishing with daddy and they caught several sunnies off the dock. Saturday afternoon we celebrated Lonnie and Ardis’s wedding anniversary. Dan, Derek, Blake, Brian, Beth and Brynlee stopped over for dinner and to enjoy the bon fire. It was a beautiful night.
Sunday afternoon we headed over to Jason and Jerene’s for a few hours. Justin and Laura were in town from Chicago and they were hanging out at the lake all weekend along with Jen and Nate and the kids. Everyone was a little quiet and mellow at the Redfield Lake. I think they all had a little too much fun the night before! MaKena, Karisa and Emma played in the sand and ran around in the water together. Gunnar even got in on the action and splashed around in the water. It was hilarious to watch him play. He would splash and splash and giggle and giggle. We did a little Jet Ski riding and paddle boating and soaked up a lot of sun. We ate an early supper with everyone and decided it was time to head back to the Huseby’s Lake. Jason was getting ready to take everyone out for a pontoon ride and we all know how long those take (just kidding Jason!) and Lane and I aren’t familiar with the lake roads and didn’t want to be driving back in the dark. (It was a good thing we left when we did as the pontoon ride didn’t get back to shore until after 9 and we left the lake around 6!)
Around noon on Monday Lane and I picked Jacob up and spent some time at the Huseby’s lake. Jacob went for a Jet Ski ride and tubing while MaKena rode around in the pontoon with Nana and Papa. We then packed up and headed over to the Redfield’s lake. Mom, Uncle Tom and Grandma Vivian were all out at the lake on Monday. It was great to see Grandma at the lake. She really enjoyed it. When we got to the lake the three little girls started having a water fight. It was funny watching them. Later Justin was out in the lake trying to catch a turtle. Eventually he did and all the kids had to check him out. We ate a late lunch/early supper with everyone and packed up our things and headed home. We were exhausted from a fun family filled weekend. Too bad it had to end. I’m already looking forward to next year!
