To go or not to go...

So the weekend was filled with festivities. They started Thursday evening with 8 or so teenagers setting up tents in the backyard of Mom and Dad's cabin. The sun came up Friday morning, shortly followed by Calli and then myself, and then of course the teenagers stumbled to bed... ahh to be young again... their Thursday ended and the rest of us began our Friday :).

The 4th of July was so much fun, at one point I think we had close to 100 people at the cabin, with enough food to feed a small army, and many very competitive games of bean bag toss, the day was brought to an end with a display of about $6,000 worth of fireworks. WOW!! Wait... that didn't end the day I believe it was the Becker County Sheriff stopping by to tell us to keep the noise down.. oops sorry neighbors :(. Again, the teenagers stumbled to bed as Calli and I were waking.. this time they had multiplied to about 20...

The weekend ended Sunday with a early drive in to town to say good bye to Donnie, the reason for all of the festivities. It was way harder than I had anticipated. I am so proud of him and know he will do great things with the US Marines.

So I say goodbye, and go home and hit the hay... I wake up to a phone call from Mom telling me that Donnie is not going today after all... He fell off his dirt bike last week and has a cut on his leg. He cannot leave for boot camp until his leg is completely healed. So same time next week, we get to do it all over again.. at least we get another week with him.

As always I'll post a picture. Here is Calli on the 4th My "Lil Sparkler"
