We stayed at Missy's lake house till 5:30 pm ish yesterday, July 4th. We had a blast! Friday, (the 3rd) Lilian woke Kyle and I up early and we made coffee, did some laundry and went into Curtis, a town nearby. We went to a very classy (see picture below) store called "The Store" in search of some kind of rawhide for Nina, our barking dog. We then went to a gift shop and bought sandals for me and a coffee cup for Kyle. Then we had breakfast at "Grandma Will Ya's."

This brand of Beer is called "Beer Lite" and it's catch phrase is"Anytime is the Right Time!" And it also features a clock logo which says "Beer Thirty" where the 12, 3, 6 and 9 generally are.

Friday afternoon we went to Tahquamenon Falls. Here is Kyle walking to the falls with Lilian horsey back.

Here is a picture of the falls.

Juliana took this Family Photo. I look a little weird.

After the Tahquemenon Falls, we went to a brewery and restaurant located on the site. Here is Anna and Julianne waiting to order. They look happy! More happy than I was at the time, Lilian was all wet from pouring water on herself and throwing a fit!

This picture is lovely! If you click on it, you can see it closer. It's Kyle playing water fetch with Nina and Lilian and Neil (Missy's son) playing on the other end of the dock, the morning of July 4th.

Julianne, Missy, Neil, Lilian and I went to a parade in Curtis Saturday morning.

Julianne at the Parade!

Neil, his aunt and his cousins getting candy at the parade.

Julianne, Lilian and I at the parade enjoying the festivities.

I was trying to take a picture of this float. It's a "Yooper" themed float and it was very strange. I think the theme of this parade was something about snow. Weird!

Fireman were actually spraying the crowds with hoses, and it wasn't very warm at this point so most of the crowds backed waaay up.

Lilian walking down the dock after she woke up from nap time.

We changed Lilian into her swim suit so she could go play in the water.

Lilian and Missy were having lots of fun together!

Julianne and I were really soaking up the sun, since it had been cloudy for days!

Kyle's friend from Line School was up on vacation visiting relatives and stopped by on his new Jet Ski. Obviously Kyle had to try it out.

Kyle and his dad drove John's truck in the water to jump the boat battery because it died. Julianne is excited about it.
After we took a nice, fast boat ride, we headed home. We met Kyle's mother and sister at our house and then all went to the Marquette Food Festival to get some food and listen to a little music.

We had to trek a ways to get to the festival because there was no parking anywhere! Lilian is hanging out there on Kyle's back.

It was pretty packed at the Food Fest.

We hung around awhile, but left just before fireworks when Lilian had to go home. She had a very busy day.
Today, Kyle's family is coming over again and we will have lunch. I don't know what else is planned but we shall see!
