Saturday morning, I met up with my running group for a 10 mile run. It was hot and humid, but we got it done! I took a Huma Chia Energy Gel for the first time and I really liked it! I now understand what Christy meant when she said she would use the gel as jam. Strawberry Huma Gel would taste pretty darn good on a Whole Wheat English Muffin if I do say so myself! :0)
After our run, we were greeted with a soiree of duckies. The cutest of the lot was a momma duck with her 7 baby ducklings! Adorable!!
As I was on my way home, my brother called to let me know that him and my sister in law would be in town later on that afternoon. Enter: family fun night.
At dinner, we began talking about old school games and things we used to do as kids. Of course, the topic of Mall Madness and Dream Phone came up. My brother and I have a running joke about Mall Madness, so I was excited to play again once more. Unfortunately, the center console was fried. Sad times.
Instead, we opened Dream Phone and the quest to find our secret admirer began.
Guess who won? 
I changed a lot of the faces on the cards and the game board to pictures I cut out of Teen Bop magazine…NSYNC, BSB, Dawson’s Creek, and the likes! After posting the photo on Instagram, I discovered that I wasn’t the only one who did such a thing! Whew! My mom thought I was crazy…ok, maybe I am (a little).
Sunday morning, our church hosted its “Let Freedom Ring” celebration! We honored veterans both past and present and celebrated the freedom of living in this amazing country! I love it when our orchestra/choir sang the Armed Forces Medley and members of each branch of the military walked on stage to stand with their flag. It was very touching.
(By the way…no, that’s not a giant flame, it’s fireworks!)
My brother and I also enjoyed a ride in my dad’s jeep on Sunday. It was a GORGEOUS afternoon!
Does your family ever get together for family game night? Did you have a good weekend? Any 4th of July plans?
