We were eagerly awaiting the Johnsons’ arrival. They braved 1806 miles across the country to come for a visit and didn’t let a late start or damaging hail keep them from getting here. Around 9:00 Friday night Josh, Stacie, Abbie, Chandler, James, Max, and Ruby pulled into our driveway. We whisked them out for a quick evening swim and then spent another couple of hours gabbing away.
Saturday we decided to join in the Independence Day celebration at the Tower parade.
After a hot afternoon at the parade, we came back and hit the lake before Stacie, April, and I headed out to a surprise birthday party for my cousin Stacy.
After a day of going we were looking forward to lounging at the lake for the next few days – which is exactly what we did.
