The Polega's Peanut: July 2016

4th of July 2016

We had a great 4th this year! On the 3rd we had a band, Rye Whiskey play on our back deck and had a big party---everyone had a blast! On the 4th we did the usual- parade, fireworks, jet skis, paddle boards, and other fun on the lake. The weather was FANTASTIC and we all had so much fun!!

Early celebration- our own personal fireworks show!

Up close and personal with the lighthouse thanks to the jet ski!

Our Fantastic 5 Year Old

I am going to attempt to catch back up with the blog posts, because I love making books with them at the end of each year! The first major event to happen since my last post was Macy's 5th birthday! It ended up being a tough weekend, because everyone in the house except the birthday girl came down with the flu! But we managed to have some family over for a cookout and enjoy the day anyway. It was near 80 degrees on her birthday-not something you can count on in Mid-April!
