I took the kids up to Lakeside to spend some time with family. Unfortunately, Mike couldn't come because he was busy working. We stayed 3 nights and had a lot of fun doing the typical Lakeside things...playing (lots of) putt-putt, getting donuts from the Patio, eating ice cream, and playing on the playground. The lake was a little rough so we didn't end up going on the boat, but that's OK because we can do that around here.
Friday evening, Christina, Matt, Lindsay, my mom, Lilly, Jake, Grace, and I all headed to the African Safari. It is a park you drive through and feed the animals from your car. As always it was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs! Jake and Grace were both a little afraid, but Lilly was fearless! Jake eventually made friends with a llama and overcame his fear.
On Saturday, we decorated the stroller and were in the Lakeside 4th of July parade. I kept telling Jake to wave to all the people and say "Happy 4th of July". I didn't think to tell Grace, but at one point I looked down at her and she was waving to everyone with both hands!
