4th of July up north

A fun long weekend filled with fun in the sun and several firsts! I have spend 4th of July up north with the Freeland's every year since 1999! Though we have watched the Edina parade every year since we moved here in 2005...but this year we skipped the parade. It was too hot to spend the day just sitting in the sun so we headed up Tuesday after a little BBQ with our neighbors, Dan, Michelle & Ben Kersten.

Molly & Zach's first jet ski ride

Zach caught two fish!!

Driving the boat with Uncle Brett

the kids had the best time jumping and jumping off the water tramp

With 3 attempts at skiing, Zach got up 2 times both for a total of 5 seconds but he was up!!  I don't think he knew what to do once he was up.  Either way, he loved it!!
