4th of July 2014

We spent the long weekend up at the cottage and enjoyed every minute of it.  Our new adventure this time around...tubing.  We gave it a try last summer, only to fail miserably due to a boat malfunction, but this summer was another story.  I was a bit hesitant at first, but once I saw Lily give it a go, I was sold.  We can't even put into words how much fun we had flying, bouncing, and screaming our way around the lake!  We even got Dad on the tube with Elizabeth which was so much fun to watch!  We of course had fireworks (or giant TNTs as I like to call them) thanks to Grandma, and finished ours in time to head down to the end of the dock to take in the lake display which was quite impressive.  Elizabeth joined us for some time on the paddle boards and slack line, where we taught her a few of our tricks.  On our last night, Lily managed to pull away from me in our tooth race losing one of her top front teeth.  Can you believe that the Tooth Fairy managed to find her all the way up in the North Woods??? That makes it 3-1, but I'm not giving up just yet.  With all of the excitement we somehow managed to find time to squeeze in a quick trip to the candy store on our way out of town, which made for a perfect end to a perfect weekend!

It was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
