Happy Independence Day

The kids had a great 4th of July weekend. On Saturday, they spent most of the day at grandma and grandpa's on Prior Lake with the rest of the family. Great Uncle Jim and Auntie Cathy brought the Banzai Falls Original Water Slide. Needless to say, the kids enjoyed it. Laura went with mommy a few times, then she got brave and "Do it myself!"

Oh dear, this isn't your daddy's slip & slide.


You have to climb up the big hill.


Riding down with mommy!


Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Mommy had fun too.


Now we relax in the water. Good thing grandpa Bud hooked it up to the warm water, so this is like taking a bath.


On Sunday, we went on a boat cruise. The lake was so busy, that the wakes from the other boats were drenching the kids in front, much to their delight.
