WOW!!

I can't believe the end of July is here already!! We have had such a full and fun July this year! We were in Okoboji for the 4th of July as usual with my side of the family. We got to tube and eat yummy food at my aunt and uncle's in Lake Park. We headed over to Arnolds Park around 5 and the kids got to go to the amusement park and had a lot of fun thanks to Papa and Grandma! Noah got to ride the roller coaster with Daddy and Papa! The BIG coaster!! He loved it! The girls enjoyed the little coaster plus lots of other rides!! My entire family heads over then and sits right along the shore on the lake for the fireworks. We order pizza for supper and then get ready for the fireworks. They are all synchronized to music! They are always AMAZING and this year they were OUTSTANDING!!! There were 27 of us there this year! We truly love our family and spending time with all of them!

Thumbs up! Ready to go!

Noah and Maddie loving it!!

Morgie's 1st time tubing!!

She loved it when we didn't go too fast! She gave thumbs up a couple of times, but after this picture my camera battery died!! Of all times!! Her 1st time tubing and I didn't get it on camera!!

Monkey Sue turned 1 on July 8th! I can't believe my sweet baby Avery is already 1!! We had her party at Fort Des Moines Park and it was HOT!!! We grilled out and had lots of family and friends that came to celebrate with us!! Everyone had a great time and Avery had a lot of fun opening her presents!! She also LOVED the purple frosting on her cake!

All the kids!
