May The 4th Be With You...

We once again headed up to the cabin yesterday to celebrate the 4th of July. There was a fair amount of rain, but certainly not enough to slow us down or keep us from having fun. Some of the best parts of the day...
1) The Parade: There's nothing like dogs riding on the backs of bikes, Todd trying to give a four-wheeler a running jump start, Ernie cozying up to monster trucks, and of course, the kids in the pick-up truck winning the cutest parade participant hands down.
2) Games: It doesn't matter if they are played inside or outside (yesterday's rain forced more inside games than usual), we can make a competition out of anything...
3) Hiking: We did the same loop as always, but that's part of the cabin experience. We sat and remembered on Opa's Rock, found the perfect hiking sticks, took pictures in the meadow, and climbed giant boulders.
4) Fireworks: The rain and lighting stopped just long enough for us to bundle up for the show. The sky looked quite different as explosions lit up the fog and clouds. But, a fitting end to another great cabin day...
