When I worked at Hallmark, my boss hosted a 4th of July brunch every year at her home, since the store was always closed that day. It was the highlight of the year for all of us employees. In the evening, I would usually spend time with friends watching the fireworks somewhere.
When Josh and I start dating, his family had a tradition of going over to his grandparents house to let off fireworks in the street. We did that for quite a few years.
More recently, we have celebrated the 4th at his parents house and then headed out to watch the fireworks. We have this special spot we sit every year that has the perfect view of the show.
This year, we were talking with our Bible study group about taking a trip to a family cabin and spending a weekend on the lake. It just so happened to work out for us to go 4th of July weekend. So, we loaded up two very packed vehicles and headed out on Wednesday night.
We had such a blast! We spent most of the day Thursday and Friday out on the lake...and got to watch the fireworks from the shore. They set them off across the lake from us, so we had the perfect viewing spot.
We played lots of games, ate way too much food, laughed so hard our stomachs hurt, and had the best time with each other. It went by so fast and we can't wait to go again!
Kayak time!

We didn't quite finish the 1200 piece puzzle...but we tried!
It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun! Such a great weekend with friends.
