Fourth of July

Fourth of July weekend we went camping at St Croix Hinckley. We love this campground. They have cal-de-sacs to camp in. So we reserve a whole cal-de-sac and the whole family goes.
It was me, Aaron, Trevor and Ali. Papa Troy and Gramma Kim. Uncle Steve and Auntie Kelly. Auntie Nicole, Brian and Elizabeth. Jill and Chris. Auntie Lisa, Uncle Steve, Kaela and Kiele.
We went up on Wed night. We didn't get up there until 9pm. So, we put the kids to bed and Aaron and I enjoyed a nice QUIET night.
Thursday, Mom and Troy and Lisa and the girls came up. We enjoyed the heat! Later that night Nicole and Brian came up.
Friday we got up and decided to go tubing down the St Croix River. We decided to bring Trevor. Yeah, he didn't like it very much. He ended up sitting in my lap the whole way down. But it was still fun. Everyone else came up later on Friday.
Sat we went tubing again, this time Trevor stayed back with Papa and Gramma. We had so much fun going down the river. It was so relaxing for Aaron and I. Nani and Papa came up that day as well. It was nice to see them, even though it was hot, we all enjoyed their company. Good thing for campers! Saturday afternoon the campground had a parade for the kids to participate in. We decorated Trevors tractor and the girls bikes. Elizabeth rode in the trailer of Trevors Tractor for almost the whole ride. They were so cute and had so much fun. Later that night the campground had karaoke and a DJ. We all went up and enjoyed the dancing, until the mosquitoes started eating us for dinner.
Sunday we got up and enjoyed the day playing bean bags and relaxing. That night we drove to Siren, WI for fireworks. I was so excited to see Trevor with fireworks, it was the first 4th of July that we watched fireworks with him where he would enjoy them. Well, he coudn't have cared less. He was more interested in entertaining everyone. He was pretty cute. We headed back after fireworks and sat next to the fire and played cards.
Waking up the morning that we are leaving is always the hardest. I hate packing up!
It was a great weekend and I can't wait to go back there again!

Trevors 3rd Birthday

My baby boy turned 3 on June 23rd. I cannot believe how big and smart he is getting. I just can't believe how fast time goes. We wish for them to grow up and then it's here in a matter of no time.
Tuesday night we had dinner at Kelly and Steves. Danielle and Jason gave Trevor his birthday present there. After dinner we enjoyed some time at the pool.
Wed. the 23rd we had cake and ice cream. Papa Troy and Gramma Kim stopped by to give Trevor his birthday present. They got him a John Deere Tractor. He absolutley LOVES it. Then Auntie Colie and Brian stopped by to sing happy birthday and eat some cake.
Trevor also got a package in the mail from Gramma Barb. ALL Toy Story stuff.
That Friday we had his 3 yr doctor appt. Trevor is 38 in and 36 lbs. Such a big boy!!
That night we had his big birthday party. We had it all planned out and then the severe weather decided to move on in. We made the best of it and it turned out great. It was so hot and humid. But, we had a great time.
Here are some pics of the night.
