4th of July Weekend

We had a very busy, yet very fun Fourth of July Weekend. Our hometown throws a great celebration with a variety of activities going on throughout the weekend. Adam participated in the bean bag contest and the alumni golf tournament. He didn't win either, but still had a good time. We also went up the beer garden/street dance/live band one night with our friends and family. For being a small town, Northwood really knows how to throw a good party! We look forward to the 4th of July every year!

We were sad to have to leave our family and friends. Adam and I agreed that the 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays because we enjoy the quality time spent with our loved ones. This year especially, because the weather was hot and sunny!

As we were leaving town, we couldn't help but notice all of the family BBQ's/gatherings throughout town, the city park was PACKED with people of all ages, and so many people were out on their bikes and golf carts just enjoying the day. These are the reasons why we love coming home over the Fourth. Unfortunately, the town we live in does next to nothing to celebrate the 4th of July. We didn't see one single gathering or festive activity as we drove into town. Very sad.

We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as we did! Happy Belated Birthday America!
