Week 26: Red, White, and Blue


The Fourth of July has become one of my favorite family holidays since we moved to Rhinelander.  We began the day the same way we have the past 5 years by heading downtown to the parade.  This year it was exceptionally hot - close to 90 and standing on the asphalt for a couple of hours with little breeze proved to be a bit challenging.  But, we still enjoyed watching the many marching bands and floats parade by.  My favorite is always the Thunder Bay Bagpipe group that comes down from Canada every year.  Their music is so unique and it is so rare to get the chance to see bagpipes to be played.  It is a real treat.  

After lunch, we headed over to Tom's house to grill out and hang with our family lakeside.  Everyone enjoyed swimming, boating, and chatting away the afternoon.  It was a great way to spend one of my favorite days out of the summer.  Happy Fourth, everyone!
