July 3 - 9

   Monday Rachel stayed to spend the week with mom and dad. Becca, Alec, and I came back home so that we could spend the 4th with Mike. Monday night when we got home we went out to Vince and Traci's cabin for supper. Tuesday morning we got up and went golfing. Becca and Alec had a great time golfing with us. We then spent the afternoon at the cabin playing, eating, and ended the night with fireworks. Mike was off on Tuesday and spent the whole day with us. Alec and Becca had a great time doing fireworks with Mia and her friends.

  Wednesday morning we stayed home in the morning and then picked up lunch and met Traci at the cabin to help her clean up from the party on the 4th. Then we came home and I mowed while Mike built a fire pit out of some extra retaining wall bricks.

You can't build a fire and not roast marshmallows

   Thursday we stayed home in the morning then Babs came out and watched the kids while I went to town to do some shopping for the weekend. Friday Mike worked in the morning then we packed up and headed to Alma for the weekend. The kids enjoyed going swimming Friday evening when we got to town.

    Saturday Mike and Nick golfed in a tournament so we had Melissa's niece and a friend come watch the kids and we went shopping. We traveled around to some boutiques and had lunch in Holdrege before coming back home. Sunday we got up and headed out. We meet mom in Ansley to pick up Rachel and then raced home to get Rachel to her softball end of the year party at 6. Aaron, Ashlynn, and Sean came to town and then Becca went home with them for a couple days.
