4th of July

we went with our friends from the ferry (really, i need to come up with a better term than that) to eagle river to see fireworks on july 3rd. here, it doesn't really get dark unless there is good cloud covering. so, festivities were done on july 3rd so that when the fireworks went off at midnight, they were technically on the 4th. worked for us. and we got lucky. tons of clouds filled the sky, so the fireworks were more viewable.

there were many things for the kids to do...bowling, fishing for toys, bounce houses, rock wall, etc. and some things for the older kids between the ages of 25 and 35. sumo wrestling and rock band.

we all had a great time, and surprisingly, spencer did NOT pass out on the way home. emma, however, did. he took a very brief nap on the way to eagle river and was grumpy for a while after that.

i look forward to next year. we will probably go to the same place, bc the kids had so many things to keep them busy. hope you all had a great one!!
