Up North Part 3.... The end...

After the boys where done golfing I learned they spent some extra time playing a dice game called Ship Captain Crew. Apparently it is very fun. I am glad some people were having fun....

Uncle Ron tried to talk me into asking Bonnie to go to the local Casino. I said sure, but when I found out the boat was working I really wanted to go out on the boat. He was sulking about it when we left. Duner, Zeb, Mike and I headed to Anderson Lake to try out the boat for the first time this year. I love how easy our boat is to get on the trailer and off. Mike was somewhat distracted with some sunbathers that were on a nearby dock. (FOCUS MIKE, I thought) but we did well.

Just as we were heading out on the water a storm warning was issued. It seemed a storm was heading just north of us. The sky seemed ok yet so we picked a spot and started to fish. After an hour and a half we managed to get a tiny little blue gill and then we started to see lighting... Needless to say we decided we were done. The wind just began picking up as we got off the lake and headed home.

Back at the cabin my in laws had just shown up with their friend Cheryl. Cheryl and her husband Ron used to run a Karaoke business, but Ron passed away in Spring. She brought all her equipment with her and my father in law Karaoke king and Uncle Ron, the prince had fun all night. We were the responsible bunch that night. We just sat around the fire, Zeb was asleep by 10 pm.

Tuesday, The 4th of July, a parade always goes by the front of the cabin. We have front row seats. It maybe has 20 floats tops, but they throw some candy (Zeb made a steal) and spray some water. This year I guess they didn't want the water so much, but they still had it. I think that is the best part. They also walk around with tickets for free. Every child gets a ticket. At the end of the parade you walk down to the baseball diamond and wait for you number to win a free bike. It is sponsered by the local businesses. Eack one buys a bike. They had 80 to give away. Brand new. We of course had no luck. But we only had one ticket, since the boys were at camp.

We always have a big feast after the parade and this year we got to leave without cleaning up.
:]
The in laws were staying one more day, so we didn't have to make sure it was spotless before we left. Yea!

Now back to realty...
