Happy Monday, friends! I hope you're all enjoying the July 4th holiday weekend. Alexis and I have spent the past few days at the lake camping with family. Believe it or not, I’ve spent two nights in a tent!

The fireworks were Saturday night, which was kind of weird, but we watched them from the boat out on the lake which is always a fun experience. Yesterday we spent the afternoon on a sandbar, and Alexis and I rode the tube.

It’s been a nice little break, even though Alexis had a major bike wreck yesterday and looks like she’s gone a few rounds in a boxing ring. I was so scared we were going to end up in the emergency room, but thankfully she seems to only have scrapes and bruises. It was a pretty traumatic experience for her. I will definitely be keeping a close eye on everything for the next few days, just in case.

There’s obviously other things happening in life, but I don’t really want to go into any of it today. I would rather hop off here and get ready for another day of fun in the sun.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July and rest of the week! Don't forget your sunscreen!
