Who loves summer??

We do!! Thank goodness it finally feels like summer has arrived, it has been sorely missed in our household. I find it ironic how quickly people start to complain about the heat and humidity after months of crying about the cold. I also find it funny how that no matter where you go people strike up a conversation about the weather. I believe I had a conversation about the weather at two gas stations on Sunday, CVS, and the grocery store. The last one I had to turn away so I wouldn't bust out laughing. Regardless, summer is here and I am thrilled!!

This last weekend we went and visited our home away from home the Heer's in Minneapolis. We always have so much fun in their company. We were able to stay with them with peace of mind that Ruby was well taken care of at the Kuehl's. I couldn't find a sitter for her so she came along for the ride. Erik and I bragged up how easy she is and they will not need to worry about her, she can fend for herself. I think 20 minutes into getting there she projectile vomitted on their gorgeous wooden floors not once, twice, or three times on their floor...but four times! I proceeded to blame Anthony for feeding her Lunchables on the way up when I knew full well it was me. Sorry Amy...I didn't think she would actually puke it up considering she eats her own poop. It all ended well after she settled down but once again THANK YOU to Brad and Amy. I took them out for breakfast on Sunday to say thanks and hope they enjoyed it. I know I did Keyes Cafe' rocks-great suggestion AJ!!

Anyways back to our weekend. We stayed Fri-Sun, the kids played great for the most part. The adults played well for the most part and it was great. We ate well, drank well, and enjoyed a good game of old fashioned dominos. I would have loved to stay one more day but we had to get back to reality and travel back home to work Monday. As always Alex was a horrible traveler and Anthony slept both their and back. Anthony has always been a really good traveller. We can tell him we are going to be there if four hours. He will look at us and tell us he is going to take a nap then. Why does Alex not understand that concept? He will proceed to scream almost the entire time we are driving unless we are trying to bribe him with Lunchables, drink, or garage door openers. Seriously?

Well the 4th of July is approaching us and we are headed to the lake. Alex has not been feeling good the last couple of days so I am crossing my fingers that he will be charged up for the weekend. He really is not a lake fan either. Loves to run and jump in the water, not a fan of sleeping at the lake, and is usually up at 5 am when the birds start to chirp. I am hoping my in-law's will take the boys over night of Friday so we can have some adult time with Brad and Amy, maybe hit DL for some dinner at Fireside and go watch GB Leighton with the Greene's. Anthony keeps asking me about smokeballs so I am thinking we will make a trip for some small fireworks as well.

Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July. Appreciate our country, your families, and those that feel like home to you. For those are the people that make it all worth it.
