Had a Great 4th of July weekend

 Well we are back safely at home from our 4 day trip to the great U.P (upper Penisula) Michigan. I just love it there..lake superior, the lovely landscapes and family and friends to enjoy. We had such a busy schedule in the short time we were there. Saturday morning was the 1 1/2 hour long parade in Ishpeming, Mi. which I got a little to much sun, but the weather was unbelievably warm for this part of the year up there 93 degrees. We had a family (my cousin) Wedding at a gazebo outlooking Lake Superior in Marquette, Mi on Saturday afternoon..its was perfect and went to well, then the reception followed that with great food and lots of fun with the large family we have up there. Then on the 4th we went to my uncle's camp out on Bass Lake to celebrate the 4th with tons of food, swimming, sauna, pontoon boat rides , fireworks and games and all 63 of us that were there had many laughs and great memories were made. All in all we all had another great 4th of July. And this year we took out new Eskies (Izzy & Jenna) who just turned one in January with us and they just loved it up there and they got lots of attention from everyone. You can see the smiles on their faces in this photo of them -we were getting ready to go to the parade on Saturday morning. Here is a photo of just a few of us who went to the parade-most of the relatives were getting ready for the wedding to take place in the afternoon.
