4th of July weekend

Before we went up to the cabin we did a few fireworks at home.

 ...and then at the cabin.
 Vic of course wanted to be pulled around on water skis & the knee board until after the sun went down.
 HAPPY 4th! Here is our family all decked out to be in the parade.
 Our parade truck & bikes.
 Whitney didn't last very long, but Tommy did the whole parade & got lots of compliments on how cute & little he was.  Also, people kept shouting good job for making it the full 3 1/2 miles.  He was quite proud. :)
 Afterwards they sat by the side & got some of their own candy.  There was way too much. People were just leaving it on the road & not picking it up! Here they are with their cousins Will & Sam.
 After the parade we swam in the lake. We bought a big raft this year & it has a little kiddie pool in the middle that the kids loved jumping into.
 We met up with some neighbors & they pulled Vic behind their boat so he got to wake board. He loved that.
 We played a few games on the deck & then did a pot luck dinner BBQ with a bunch of people from the island.
 After dinner there was a boat parade. The kids liked this minion one the best.  All the girls were dancing to one of the songs from the movie.
 Here is our group watching the fireworks: Mom & Mark, Abby (behind the orange ball), Great Grandma, & Amber's family. We had a full house!
The fireworks had a great back ground with the mountains back there.
 ...and I loved the rainbows of colors it put on the lake!
