The fourth of July is a big holiday for my family. We all head to the lake, watch fireworks and have a great time. This year was no different. Dad and Adrian drove to Missouri to get the fireworks a couple weeks before hand. Why Missouri? Better fireworks, better prices and less chance of being stopped for illegal contraband than going to Wisconsin.
On the fourth Angie, Natalie and I took the older kids (Jordan, Jake, Liv, Isaiah and Sammy) to a parade in Randall. There is nothing like a small town parade to get you in the festive mood. Ok Minus the stickers for the kids from the politicians and the
anti-abortion truck with a picture of a fetus on it. Either way all the kids were really great! We headed back to the lake for the boat parade on 
Pine Island, which is also a lot of fun. We got to see some fireworks from the dock on Friday night. Cooper really seemed to enjoy them.
Saturday was the big day at Pine Island. We had a potluck dinner and a great fireworks display. We decided to take our boat out and enjoy the fireworks from the lake. It was so nice out there! We could see the fireworks without the loud noise and see the other fireworks on the lake. Cooper watched about a half hour of it and then fell asleep!
It was a great weekend but busy weekend. If I counted correctly we had 28 people and 8 dogs up there. My only regret is that I didn't take a lot of pictures.
