Busy, busy, busy!

Summer is going by so fast! There has been so much to do and the busiest time is yet to come!

The 4th of July weekend was crazy this year! Almost the entire Casperson clan was up at the lake for the annual picnic! And there are a heck of a lot of Caspersons! Nic swam in the lake for the first time and he seemed to enjoy it. Eric put him in a little floaty, it was too cute. On Monday we went to Steve & Angie's for a little pool party and then some fireworks (all of which, according to Ang, "emit showers of sparks"). Because they were purchased at the Hudson, WI Target she had thought they would be the real deal. But alas, we had "showers of sparks". But they were lovely and loud and the boys liked them so that's all that mattered!

We skipped the 4th of July fireworks in Elk River this year. Way past Nic's bedtime. But we did see some from our deck! We never realized how loud our neighborhood can get on the 4th!

On Thursday, Nicolas and I went to Stillwater to visit with my mom. We went to Brine's for lunch and then took Nic to Teddy Bear Park. What a nice playground! Nic had a lot of fun! He especially liked watching the older kids running around. After the park we headed over to the river to sit in the shade and relax a bit. It was a beautiful day!

Next up on the summer schedule: Eric's Canada trip, Eric's Florida trip, Wefest for Yvonne, 5 days up at the cabin in August(ahhhhh), Dixie Chicks concert, State Fair!, and then it's September already! And Nic will soon be ONE! Where oh where does the time go??
