Then Kate decided she needed to go too... just in case Emmy got scared. It was so fun hearing all about the week and the things they learned.. independence!

4th of July 2026

We had the very best 4th of July this year! It was laid back, chill, and literally got chilly one night! We went to the lake for the weekend. My parents and her sister, my aunt Toni and uncle Dennis joined us. We cooked good food and took it easy. The fireworks were so good this year!
