Ah, the 4th of July. 231 years ago, a bunch of uppity rebels decided they should bite the hand that fed them. Well, more like the hand that fed their ancestors, and then let the ancestors to colonize America. Then, to pay homage to the Monarchy, the American colonials decided they didn't need to deal with a tyrant anymore, and tried to break from the English motherland. The King wasn't so happy with the rebels and waged a battle. Many lives were lost, but in the end a new idea was found. The idea wasn't an original one, but just a twist on what Romans had done earlier. The Republic..... anyhow, long story short, we celebrate our rebelious spirit and our spunk with blowing up fireworks, BBQing, and usually fishing. So, Happy Birthday America.....


Last week-ish, we spent plenty of time up north. Cleaning, landscaping, fishing, swimming..... the good stuff. We did manage to land a few lunkers this weekend......

We promptly fileted these giants and sent them to ruwanda.... to do our part. This weekend also saw the launch of the infamous red dragon. The maiden voyage was a quick dash to one end of the lake, with the pontoon providing support in case the red dragon went wild.

This week- Alicia will be working, and patroling the fort, while Ryan plays softball, and the rare summer floor hockey.

This weekend- Friends Weekend at the Cabin. Drinking, Swimming, Fishing, a solid good time for all. Hopefully this year people will learn how to slide down the waterslide, and how to actually jump on the water trampoline.
