4th of July Embarrassment

This week, Tim and Jenni discuss their recent boat trip, summer routine, and thoughts on living on a lake. They also reminisce about 2013, including notable events: a meteor hitting Russia & Justin Bieber peeing into a mop bucket, movies, and music. In 2013, Tim and Jenni went on several trips, including to Winnipeg, Montreal, New York, and Mexico. They enjoyed their time in Winnipeg, exploring downtown and visiting restaurants. They also had a memorable experience at a gas station in Canada, struggling to convert gallons to liters. The couple attended a Kubb tournament in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where they placed fifth.
