4th of July Weekend

We had a great 4th! On Friday, we got up and went to the strawberry patch for the first time in my life. It was awesome and a really good experience. We did catch the last day of strawberry picking at this patch. :) I think Kylie ate more strawberries than she picked and Dawson, not a fan quite yet. He didn't want to pick and just wanted to get out of there...lol. He was willing to "try" a strawberry, but it was very sweet and he threw it onto the ground. But we got our ten pounds of strawberries, went home and I actually made jam -- and it's REALLY good! :) We had a bonfire on Friday night (woke Kylie out of her bed and she did some sparklers and ate some smores).









On Saturday we got up and went to Avon, MN. My friend Alicia's dad lives on Upper Spunk lake in Avon and we were invited to attend their tradition of going to "Dad's" house! :) We had an absolute blast and the kids did too. They were able to just run, jump, play in the water and just have fun! We learned that Dawson loves fishing. He did not want to get off the dock -- we finally had to tell him the fishing pole was broken so we (Dave) could have a break.








Then on Sunday, we just hung out most of the day. Went to Cabela's in the a.m. to get my cousin's baby a cute little camo outfit and hat and later in the day I went up to Princeton to visit Sara and Den's little guy, Clayton! What a handsome little man! :)
