4th of July weekend

Had an awesome weekend down by Lake Anna!! sooo nice and so much fun :) We started our drive after lunch on Friday. Stopped in Manassas to go to a used book store and we also had ice cream. Yuum!! :) When we arrived we went straight down to the lake and went swimming. So nice! The water was really warm, it was like getting into a tub. So amazing!! In the evening, after we had had supper and the thunderstorm had passed, Scott and Curtis made a firework show for us all. It was really nice and beutiful :) the kids were all excited jumping around.

On Saturday it was time for the big parade. We had decorated a golfcart with flags and other patriotic things, and Tammie and the kids went on it and participated in the parade. It was lots of fun, we all enjoyed it very much!! There were some really creative and fun floats. The americans don't spare their energy on the 4th of July celebrations!!

After we have had lunch we went out boating on the lake. Sweat, I'll tell ya :) the kids & I went swimming from the boat and just had a blast. And we all enjoyed beeing on the water and just relax. In the evening we just hang out in the house, had some chickenkebabs and so..
On Sunday we drove back home after a delicious brunch..

Yesterday Vera and I went grocceryshopping and we shoppad some birthday presents. It was a nice trip!! In the afternoon I went to the dentist to finish the rootcanal. It all went very good and without problems. That dentist was very nice and sweat. Vera and I also cleaned out the garage later on. It was nice to do something physical and use your body :)

On Thursday we leave for another vacation.. we're going to Maine :) wee!! I'm looking forward to it! First we'll stop at Six flags(amusmentpark in New Jersey). The kids, Molly & Scotty to be exact. are talking our ears of about it. They are so excited! And then we'll continue north to Maine. Just gonna hang out and go swimming and so.. sweat!!
