Up North for the Fourth 2025

Another fun trip up north for the fourth of July with Scott's family is in the books!  

We got home from South Carolina Sunday night.  Unpacked, did laundry, grabbed some groceries, repacked and left on Wednesday afternoon (after Evan's league game got canceled).  The kids went straight to the lake.  Mindy's family was already there and Nana and Pops got there shortly after us with AJ.  We had carryout pizza and salad from The Hearth for dinner.  












Thursday was a day spent on the lake.  Evan water skied, the kids went tubing, and we enjoyed the nice weather.  We got ice cream after dinner and I got my usual, Pirates Treasure, and it did not disappoint.  















Friday, and the actual 4th of July, Sean went fishing with Pops and Scott in the morning and caught a pike.  Everyone got ready to head to a putt-putt place and to the cidery.  The rest of the Salings were on their way up to the house.  It was a fun outing.  We got back and enjoyed the lake before it was our turn to do dinner that night.  We did our usual burgers, hot dogs, brats, salad, pasta salad, and chips.  

















Saturday some of the adults golfed 18 holes at a course 45 minutes away.  We celebrated AJ's 14th birthday with gifts, ice cream cake, and tacos for dinner.  It was also the lake fireworks that night and everyone made it up.  It was a great show!














Sunday the weather wasn't good.  In fact, a tornado warning came up and we had to hang out in the basement for a while.  Thankfully we just got a lot of rain.  So, it was a lazy day at the house playing games and watching the Tigers.  Monday morning we left to head home after breakfast.
