The Fourth of July is always a fun time for family get together. Every year is different, particularly in recent years with the kids older and everyone doing different things. With the Fourth being during the middle of the week plans weren't as concrete like other years with people working.
The actual holiday was about ideal as far as weather goes. Kids enjoying the growing in popularity game of spike ball at the lake cabin.
Twin Lakes was maxed to the gills once again for the Holiday.
The picture perfect turkey compliments of Mom's favorite.
Sisters on the pontoon.
The gang. Great to see everyone together. Missing is Jack who was in the middle of a six day workathon at Hotel Shoreham pizza shack.
Cheezin' on the Fourth.
The rest of the week we had our niece Claire. Jonell really enjoyed having her help do homemaking things.
Also visiting over the Fourth week was my uncle Stan and aunt Ginger. Jens in deep conversation with Stan.
We had ice in town and hockey camp was going on for the week. Open hockey one night and the above cousins all skated together for the first time.
Post dinner visiting. Fun having former staff member from summer language camp visit.
Fun times at dinner.
Happy Independence day!

Jay, I woke up last night and had some random thoughts about stuff, one being how my kids will see snippets of their life through the blogs I have created. Then I remembered you and your family. and how wonderful it is that you are giving your kids such an insightful view into their childhood through this blog and photos. The fact that you have kept it up so long and so well is a testament to your spirit because you have so many other wonderful things going on. Was just reminiscing with a young boy who skis at Maplelag every year about the time I paid you in $2s. Good times. Wishing you well, and still listening to the Crash Test Dummeies, Kurt Schroeder.
Thanks for the comment Kurt. Blogging is different now with the all the social media outlets. Appreciate the kind words. Yeah, the $2 bills. Totally remember that. Good stuff. What happened to the bike? Take care and tell that boy to mention you next time he comes....cheers, Jay.
