4th of July week

Charlie, Lincoln, and I went to Rapid for the 4th of July.  Tim and Max stayed home to paint, attend the St. Peter parade, and visit Nama.  It was a great week with so much going on.  We were busy every day with birthday celebrations for Mak, parks, bike rides, and welcoming our newest cousin/nephew.

Celebrating the 4th and Mak's 5th birthday at Reptile Gardens

Aunt Tina and Charlie being goofy as usual

We got a private show since it was Mak's big day.  The boys touched a giant snake and a baby alligator

Surprisingly Charlie wasn't too freaked out and I knew Lincoln wouldn't think twice about touching these reptiles

These two dressed themselves that day in DIFFERENT houses.  It was funny to show up and they looked like the twins.

Happy Birthday to you Big Mak!  We love your spirit, your energy, and your constant love!

We brought Mak one of our Warrior hats and he LOVED it!

Chris is such a hands on Uncle and it is great to watch the boys love him

This picture sums up the week!  All 3 of these energetic, entertaining, exhausting kiddos having a blast together.

The end of Reptile Gardens - very tired

BUT..... they got their second wind for go-carts!

"shake and bake baby!"

Uncle Chris is so patient with Charlie.  He was nervous and scared but Chris calmly talked to him about what to do.

Mak's turn.  It definitely was made for big guys not 5 yr olds

Uncle Gabe and Kyra aiming to make someone cry HAHA

We ended our week in Sioux Falls with Uncle Tim's family.  It was exactly what I needed, to see those beautiful girls and get lots of hugs and kisses.

Uncle Tim, Izzy, and CT loved spending time together

Linc's favorite spot to be.  I think Uncle Tim now has less hair!  oops
