Fourth of July weekend

We spent our long weekend at the cabin and had amazing weather!  All weekend we enjoyed temps in the 80's with blue skies and sunshine.  We are home from the cabin exhausted with sunburns and bug bites but all very happy after our time away.  We spent Saturday on the lake, fishing and swimming.  After dinner we went up to our favorite local ice cream shop and had cones, then went back to the cabin and played some Farkle until it was time for fireworks.  We went out on the boat and watched the city fireworks.  On Sunday we spent the day on the lake fishing and swimming again, then had a campfire and made s'mores.  We lit off some fireworks and sprinklers with the boys, then enjoyed some fireworks courtesy of another cabin.  We cannot figure out this cabin, or the people that own it.  It's a beautiful cabin, roughly a few years old, but it's only used once a year during 4th of July weekend.  All of a sudden their lot turns into a campground and there are people everywhere, they light off fireworks that rival any city display I've seen, then they disappear and we don't see them for a year.  It's bizzare but I'm grateful for their amazing fireworks display which is essentially right over our heads because their cabin is just a few down on the lake.  On Monday we had intended to come home earlier in the day so we could enjoy the 4th with some friends but the warm temps and blue skies lured us back out on the lake and we just couldn't say no.  We spent the day fishing and swimming again, then packed up and headed home.  We made it home in time to drop Jack off and then headed out to watch our city fireworks.  Our city put on an amazing show and I am so glad we made it home in time to watch it!  The boys are a bit spoiled after 3 nights of fireworks and can't understand why we don't get to watch them again tonight.  All in all, it was a fantastic weekend!
