independence day recap

I had a super long weekend 

because I had Thursday & Friday off from work.  

Yay for a FOUR day weekend! 

This weekend was just perfect. 

I will try to be as brief as possible and not bore you with too many details. 

Thursday: 

I had to do a fun patriotic manicure. 

Many of you know about my LOVE of fireworks already. 

This year I got to see fireworks two days in a row. 

Once on Thursday and then again on Friday! 

Wednesday was D's sister's 18th birthday and we celebrated on Thursday. 

We went to a neighboring small town 

and had supper and watched their fireworks. 

Friday: 

I baked an apple pie and brownies 

for D's family gathering. 

At the family gathering, 

we grilled hamburgers & hot dogs 

and spent all afternoon swimming in the pool. 

We capped off a great day by going to see more fireworks!

Saturday: 

D and I went to his cousin's house and went tubing. 

They also had a giant swing off of a dock. 

It was so much fun! 

However, my arms are still killing me. 

I think it's possible they may fall off. ;) 

Sunday: 

D and I had a lazy Sunday morning, 

drinking coffee, eating cinnamon rolls, 

and watching Wimbledon. 

We were both cheering for Federer, but Djokovic won. 

It was still an excellent match to watch. 

Whew! I think I summed that up pretty well. 

I saw most of your recaps yesterday 

and everyone seemed to have an excellent Fourth as well. 

I know it's a day late, 

but I am linking up with Picture Practice.
