Summer Nights

We spent the evening in Berne, about 15 minutes North-West from Byron, where they have live music and wood-fire pizza outdoors.  It's such a popular event in our area they average 500 people a night.  Needless to say, it can take awhile to get your pizza after you order!!
The weather was perfect to be outside listening to some good music, enjoying great food and spending time with family and friends!

Parades, Toad Races, & Fireworks, OH MY!!

4th of July weekend was a whirlwind of activity with friends and family.  We took the boys camping at the Kendalville city park in Iowa.  That way we were close enough to the weekend's activities in Harmony, MN at my grandma's house.

Hunter didn't make it through the entire parade....sleepy boy.










FIREWORKS


We watched fireworks from our friends Gina & Mike's back yard.  The boys did pretty good staying up late, but were ready for bed before the fireworks were done.  Christian fell asleep half way through, Easton asked to go to bed half way through and Charlie fell asleep on the way back to the camper.




He loved his glow necklaces he refused to take them off...


....but don't worry, we did take them off after he was asleep :)








GRANNY & PA'S

On Sunday we made our way to Stewartville to spend some time with Tyler's grandparents and have dinner.  Tyler's uncle Kelly had his golf cart there and the boys were able to go for a ride.
