July 4th

 Happy 4th of July! Hope it was great for you.  We went to church yesterday and then up to Kenosha to Becker Center on Lake Michigan for some food truck grub and a walk.  Last night, we cooked out steaks and did “fireworks” and S’mores.  The boys camped out in the backyard overnight.  It was a good 4th.  Praise God for our independence.  






Andrew cut himself on our rusty fire pit this past week and had to go get a tdap.  He’s fine.  :) That’s it in our world…….except (see house post!)
