The Weekend Recap




For the 4th of July, we watched the Apple Valley parade with Rich/Jennifer and Amy. We were quite annoyed with the rude children around us who were only interested in the candy and blocked our view for most of the 90 minute parade. This resulted in a letter to the editor of our local weekly circular paper (the letter was penned by me of course!)

The weather was a bit rainy on Saturday which actually made for comfortable temps and low humidity levels although there were more than a few sprinkles during the course of the day. Liam went to bed about 6 pm and Connell shortly after 7 pm and neither claimed to have heard the fireworks around 10 pm. One of these years Connell might feel like staying up for the fireworks but this year he stated that maybe 3 years from now would be the right time.

Late on Saturday I started to get some terrible lower back pain. Of course I know that it is a result of all of my rollerskating late last week. It's starting to feel better although Sunday was a rough day.

Sunday after Mass, we had a group of 16 people over for our annual 4th of July BBQ. This year we opted to do it on the 5th which was more convenient for most. The 5 cousins (the girls are second-cousins to my boys) had a fun time with the Slip and Slide and just running around together.
