4th of July Festivities in 2023

 




Hi Friends!  Hope you had a wonderful 4th of July wherever you were!  I am recapping our Long 4th of July Weekend and have so much fun to share with you so let's get to it!

 

 Friday Night

 

The girls wrapped up film camp during the day and that night, one of Eva's besties came over.  They had a blast swimming and eating burgers we cooked on the grill...then playing a Taylor Swift game and Junior Monopoly.  Daddy went to a wake but was able to observe some of the fun when he came back.  It was a great way to kick off the holiday weekend.

 







 Even Remi got in on some festive action and had his own bomb pop ;)



Saturday

 

It was a nice and easy morning for me full of reading and maybe some Friday Night Lights...baking for the weekend and then some outdoor time

 

Rob and His Dad went over to Kayla and Marshall's new home and helped the efforts of setting up things, getting electronics installed, etc.

 

Later on, we snuck in a little time outdoors


(no cushions on the outdoor couch as it was raining off and on all weekend)


Later on, Tom picked up Rob and the girls and headed to The Escape Room to kick off Caden's Birthday Festivities.  I picked up Laurel and the ladies went to enjoy a cocktail before the big birthday dinner.


This is the July Martini at Copper Door- so perfectly patriotic and delish- not very sweet at all- it had a citrusy flavor and the glass was rimmed with Pop Rocks- so perfect!




Caden's Birthday Dinner was at a Japanese Restaurant called Wasabi and we had a blast!














 Then we went back to the McLains.  The kids jumped in the pool and then we enjoyed the amazing cake by Alexa- it was a Taylor Swift Eras Cake- unbelievable!









Sunday


Although it was raining, we got packed up and headed up to the McLain's Lake House on Lake Winnipesaukee.  It was a rainy day so we enjoyed some Italy planning and then games...snacks...and wine for the day!












 Then we made dinner together and enjoyed a feast of lobster, tomato and peach caprese salad, roasted orzo, burgers and mac n cheese













 Still raining outside but yet still so beautiful






 After dinner, we played a long and funny game of Cards Against Humanity- so many laughs!




 Monday

 

Although we awoke to more rain, we waited Mother Nature out and we were able to get out and on the boat before 11am!  Yeah!  We were all very excited to be outside and on the water and getting glimpses of the sun throughout the day!

 




 


















It was an awesome day!  On our way home we stopped for a quick bite to eat then crashed early and hard.  We all piled into our bed to watch a little "Christmas in July" on Hallmark and snuggle with Remi although he was crazed and so very excited so that didn't last long- ha!


 

 Monday


We enjoyed a very leisurely and slow morning as we got unpacked and did laundry and packed up for our afternoon at the Callahan's.

 

 

We all had such a blast.  The kids swam most of the day...the guys played lawn games and the gals talked and laughed.  

 


The highlight, though, was the fireworks display Kev put on for us.  Outstanding!

 


 


 

 

 

 Hope you all had an amazing 4th!

Currently: July 2023

 



Hi Friends!  Hope you had a wonderful 4th!  I am back today and joining Jennifer for her Currently Link Up.  This month we are talking what we are currently loving, savoring, celebrating, remembering, and trying.  Here we go!

 

 

Loving

 

All the little things of summer....air conditioning...especially sleeping when it is nice and cool in our bedroom and we can snuggle up with a fluffy white comforter.  Cooking on the grill.  Swimming.   The long days.  Flowers Blooming.  Green Grass.  Bomb Pops.  Lobster. Camps.  All the Patriotic Goodness.





Savoring


The Day Light.  The Slower Schedules.  Walks Outside.  Summer!





Celebrating


We had a blast celebrating Caden's birthday...


 but I would say also, just every day life.  After a crazy spring with multiple celebrations I am loving this down time and truly appreciating it.

(Find the Frenchie- ha!)
 



Remembering


where I was last summer and appreciating my health this year- always a work in progress but grateful for my overall energy!





Trying


to learn some key Italian words and phrases so I can ask for and say basic things while in Italy next month.  Stay tuned!



Can't wait to see what is up with YOU Currently :)
