Sandy, Zachary, & Toby are here visiting from Tucson. They spent five days with us in Luverne before heading out to Mom & Dad's for the rest of their visit. Highlights for the kids included Brad making a "campfire" as Zachary & Toby referred to it on the 4th of July evening. We all made smores (Zachary & I really liked eating them) sitting by the fire and watching the neighbors shoot off quite a fireworks show. We also went to Blue Mound State Park. We originally went to have a picnic and hike around a little, but we discovered a lake with a nice sandy beach. With the temps being quite warm and the extreme humidity, it was refreshing for everyone. The kids really enjoyed playing in the sand and swimming in the lake. Ava seemed to thoroughly enjoy her new float and kicking her feet in the water. We finished out that day with a hike along the bluff. It was a pretty view as you could see for miles. It would have been a little bit nicer hike had it not been extremely muggy along with the flies and mosquitos eating us alive. All in all it was a very fun day for everyone, but we were all exhausted when we got home. The boys spent most of their time when we were home playing with the tractors out in the dirt (aka our lawn). It was great to have Sandy and the kids come to visit.
