for independence day we headed east to lake of the woods for the holiday. we have had a fourth of july party at my parents cabin for 20+ years with all of our local family. it's been a great tradition and each year brings new memories. last year we washed hair in the lake for the first time, this year we had a very intense garage volleyball game that lasted about 2 + hours between heidi, mike, ken, ryan and me. we went to warroad to enjoy their fourth of july parade (audrey got an ice cream cone during the parade) and visit with some family that was camping there. kenneth had a baseball game that evening in warroad, which they lost. i say the game was some what a disaster as it it had a weather delay (ugly weather).
my favorite thing about this holiday is the fact of doing nothing. waking up each morning, sitting on the deck with some coffee, and "just watching the lake." while at the lake i asked mike....what are you doing? he replied with just watching the lake and it was like omgosh that is all we do here....just sit on the deck and watch the lake. oh course the weekend wasn't compeletl with some bean bag, boche ball, and card games.
