Can the 4th of July really be here and gone? I am already freaking out just a bit thinking about my summer break being half over. We had a great 4th weekend with some well needed family time and lots of fun. Friday Greg and I took off for Des Moines with our good friend Michael and Melissa Freeman for a very mini getaway. Being that we both have sweet little boys at home we rarely find time to spend together free of the kiddos. I know Des Moines does not seem like a hot spot to travel to but surprising enough it is a really fun little town. We hit a Sister Hazel concert and then headed out downtown. We all agreed that the drive there and back were the best because we actually had a chance to talk and catch up. After a long relaxing breakfast we headed back to our boys and the realization that we are not as young as we once were! Thank you Gram, Grandad, and Great Grandma Doris for taking care of Briggs, I know he was not spoiled at all.
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday we relaxed at home, went for walks, rode bikes, and enjoyed actually being at home for once this summer. Sunday night we went to the Freeman's house for a barbecue. Briggs loved playing with all the big kids and running around outside. We actually caught him eating dirt, yeah we had the weird kid at the party that was eating dirt. I have always said that the boy will eat anything but this is bordering on crazy. Fun night catching up with friends but missed the fireworks due to rain. Great 4th weekend was had by all and can only imagine the pyro we will have on our hands next year at this time.
Yeah Sara, I did it you will be so proud of me.
