I enjoyed my walk to the lake this morning. My younger boys have been hanging out on the swing-set watching the excavating work going on in the yard. It’s entertained them most of the morning.
Walk This Morning
I enjoyed my walk this morning. I saw a few Black-Eyed Susans growing near the trail.
Back Yard Adventure
Several years ago I found a little pup tent at Walmart on sale for $5. When Kevin and Taylor were younger they enjoyed camping out in the backyard in it. Luke and Jacob decided they’d like to give it a try so they set it up and slept in it last night. Even though it got a bit chilly overnight, they assured me they stayed warm. They had pads and sleeping bags and extra blankets.

Last night after supper Luke, Jacob and I went for a bike ride. It was a great evening for it.
Morning Walk
It’s a pleasant morning here and I enjoyed my walk. I saw some pretty wildflowers.
TC Cherry Festival
Kevin and I went to the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City late this afternoon. It was beautiful down by the bay.
Campfire
Taylor built a nice fire for us a couple of nights ago in the back yard. The kids enjoy having fires.
Sparklers
The kids had fun with sparklers last night.

July 4th Parade
We went to town for the parade this morning. The weather is beautiful here today. The kids enjoyed the goodies that were given out during the parade. They got candy, a ball, a frisbee, flags and Nick even got a small cooler with a Red Bull in it from a local nursing home. I always get a little choked up when I see some of the veterans that have served our country participating in the parade. I’m thankful for all those who have fought for our freedom and continue to protect our country by serving in the military.
