Couldn't of asked for better weather for the Fourth of July weekend and actual holiday. Maybe a bit chilly in the morning on the Fourth but better than 90 degrees, hot and humid, imo!
Group shot. Max butt bombing. Ever year the group size is different. We were probably the smallest we have been in a while with Jake at girlfriend's Anna place, nephew Reagan gone this year on big canoe trip in Canada, Jack working all the days and friends and girlfriends not accommpanying
Sunday morning we took all the kids to Pinehurst resort for breakfast for the first time.
Massive tray of food. The waitress did phenomenal.
Ryan got the sail boat going again this year after a one or two year break. Pretty much perfect picture days.
Ryan and Mollie heading out. The wind was good most of the weekend. So good it tipped when TJ and Garrett were railing it proper. Than the night of the fourth when a storm pushed through a ghost rider took it out for a spin. It was short lived as the boat capsized. Naytauwash Baywatch ran to the shore but Ryan and TJ doing the actual rescue.
Brought the paddle board along. Fun going out across the lake. Guess some folks across the lake said I didn't know what I was doing.
Jim frying fish.
Camp fire roasted sautéed potatoes.
Post meal chat.
If you looked closely in the first photo, you might of noticed Jon's hand bandaged up. Saturday night at a friends place, keep it short, boat lift accident. Very lucky not worse. Surgery today fix up some broken bones and fingernail issue.
The time around the fourth of July has not been good for the Richards boys. Part of Jake's finger cut off 4 years ago, Jens breaking his arm, and Jack burning his butt.
Next day Jon keeping mobile as much as possible playing outdoor ping pong. First year brining the table. Super fun playing outside with the wind and slope adding to the challenge.
Morning ride on the fourth in White Earth State Forest. No bugs, cool temps and sweet rolling hills. From the cabin to the high point, a 500ft elevation gain and a Category 4 rating on the cycling climbing chart.
Fourth of July Flotilla. Serious Sioux flag waving.
Hands down the best one. Loon calling bringing it to the top.
More ping pong action. Fun times. No baseball this year and pretty quiet on the sports action.
My wife.
Potato salad, bean salad, fruit salad, vegetable salad, buns and ham. Great stuff.
New signs going up on the Rez. Ojibway conversion for many of the towns and lakes.
