Our happy family went north for the weekend of the 4th of July.

We had our usual cabin fun of course.

And the boys got their own fishing poles!  They loved it until a fish was actually caught.  Small steps.

Then there was the bonus festivities!

We started with the parade in town.  The boys found their headphones that were meant for fireworks but they work well for loud sirens too.

Then we went to Pede’s for fun before the big show.

Then we got on our boat and got to watch the fireworks from the lake. It was pretty cool!

Cabining

Standard

We have had some good weekends at the cabin so far.

Tex decided to enjoy a little pedicure on the boat

Then we enjoyed the sand bar for awhile. The lake is so high that there wasn’t much sand showing but the boys made it work by using the back of the boat.

They also pulled out the wagon. After the big people pulled the two boys around, Tex tried to take his turn pulling. It didn’t work so well but he put in a valiant effort!

Boat rides can be fun too

Even with all the fun and adventure… cabining can be a serious thing

6!

Standard

Peter was so very excited to turn 6.  He worked hard to make his wish list and help come up with the lego theme.  We started with the friend party.  It was at the park by our house.  We invited his class from school.  A handful of friends were able to come celebrate.  I think everyone had a great time, especially my big 6 year old!
