Fireworks on the lake

Paper Lanterns

Good times

Usually the kids and I are back in Iowa for the fourth, but this year we decided to stick around. The weather was perfect all weekend. The best it had been all summer, so we decided to spend the day/weekend relaxing by the pool. We worked on our tans, played some "Pig" in the pool and some pool dodge ball. It was a great day.

Later that evening, we were invited out to Devil's Lake to watch fireworks with our friends, The Coles. They had a bon fire where we roasted marshmallows and ate S'mores. It was a great evening on the lake and the fireworks were very pretty. Unfortunately, Trace had a little mishap with the poppers he was playing with when one exploded in his hand. The flecks inside the popper flew into Trace's eye causing him an immense amount of pain. Thankfully, we were able to get them out, although it was difficult since it was dark outside. No damage was done thankfully! The night ended by letting off paper lanterns into the sky.
