We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Ours was pretty "mundane" this year. As some of you know, CJ and I are building a deck on the side of the house. We started on Father's Day and have basically just been working a few hours here and there when we are not running off to a ball game! Since we didn't have to work on the 4th, we decided to spend the day working on the deck.
Brianna's friend, Nichole, invited her out to their cabin out at McCook Lake for the July 4th weekend! McCook Lake is in South Dakota, but is actually only about 6 - 7 miles from home! It is just over the border! They went out Friday morning and spent the night and Brianna came home Saturday night. She had lots of fun and it worked out for us too, since she wasn't bugging us all day while we worked! Zach was home and he helped us out quite a bit, but he also ended up going with the neighbors and shooting off fireworks later in the evening. This was fine with us... we were just glad we didn't ruin the holiday too much for them! They are used to going over to South Dakota and getting fireworks and shooting them all off all night long! When this deck is done, we are going to owe Zach and Brianna some "quality time with mom and dad"! They have been really good about it, though, and we try to let them get involved with building this deck as much as they can so they can say that they built it too!
