I promised you bikini pictures of myself from our 4th of July holiday up in Alexandria, MN…but I don’t want to make ya’ll jealous, so I’ll just keep those for myself…maybe hang them on the fridge.

Usually when we go anywhere I bring my little point and shoot camera…well that broke, so I brought my big dog, but sadly, he only made it out of the camera bag about 3 times…so there are a lot of holes in our trip.  Oh well, you get the gist….swim, tube, swim some more.  Some of the pictures I didn’t take were some of our best memories…the guys slaving away trying to perfect their mojito’s…Korey and his Captain Morgan stance and the charming way he let us all know he was peeing in the lake…late night golf cart rides with only a flashlight ‘app’ to guide the way…grading the kids on how well they can pour a beer from the keg tap (Lucy and Sophie managed to get a few ‘A’s‘), the ladies beating the guys at ‘catch phrase’ every night.  Good stuff.

 

 

This shot just epitomizes summer to me…the sunscreen ‘stance’.

 

‘twinsies’!

4th of July Kids Bike Parade….if you look to the right of the fancy looking camper, you can see our camper…we named it ‘hilltop’…we call Korey’s parents trailer ‘mess hall’ (cuz that’s where the food is at), and Krista and Aaron’s trailer is called ‘swamp land’ (due to an unfortunate septic situation).

My niece had her face painted during the kids carnival (put on by the Klatt family and their rental business).

Highlight of the week was the new fancy pontoon boat that Kor’s parents bought…it’s huge and powerful…just like I like it.

Mini-Meltdown…

Me and Krista…the only picture of me the entire week (isn’t that how it goes, moms?)…besides the amazing bikini spread.

There are 2 competing families that come to our resort every year and try and ‘one up’ each other in the firework department.  It’s quite exciting when amateur’s manage to set off a huge firework on the dock instead of in the sky~yikes.
