On Monday afternoon, my doctor gave me the okay to travel to Spirit Lake for the 4th of July! Conor has been working long hours lately, so it was a much needed vacation. When we arrived at my parents cabin, my dad had a tentative itinerary written down; oh, I am just like my father. Conor & I helped add to it throughout our week, and then we completely gave up by the end. I thought it would be fun to only post our schedule and some pictures to go along! Things I learned after reviewing the itinerary: we do a lot of welcoming... Enjoy the craziness that is the Simpson Family!
