4th of July Weekend

It sure was a fun weekend as a family. For the 4th of July we went the cabin on Big Carnellian. The kids were itching for Grandpa Mark to take them fishing. So, after a fabulous dinner, we all hopped on the pontoon and trolled around the lake, stopping to fish for a bit. Afterwards we went back to the cabin to prepare to watch fireworks. This year we watched them from the pontoon on the lake. They were the best fireworks display I have ever seen!

Maria LOVED riding around on the pontoon!
Evie had the opportunity to drive for a bit. She was hesitant at first, then had a great time.  
Then Jude went behind the wheel. There is never a dull moment with him! He was in his element and was driving like he was in a race.
On Monday we went to Willow River State Park in Hudson, WI. Although I thought I was never going to recover from the steep hill and jagged rocks we had to walk up and down, the kids had a GREAT time!
Daddy helped the kids on the freezing cold, slippery rocks. Maria was terrified of the entire waterfall experience.  
Maria was checking out the cave to make sure it was safe.
Jude found a leaf big enough to be a blanket.  
Evie found the perfect place to make her Dance Fairy House.  
Time to stop for a picnic!
