Independance Day Holiday

We spent 5 days up in Bay City at the state park this year over the 4th of July.  It was so hot!
Thank God we had air in our camper.
Our little Tucker is getting to be a pretty good camper. 
It was so nice having so many family members out there camping also.
Aunt Kathy and Uncle Den, Amber and Chad, Josh and Allison and even mom and Terry were there in their new 5th wheel.  A lot of sitting around complaining about the heat.
On Saturday we went downtown to watch the 50th anniversary of the Bay City fireworks.  They were shooting off 50,000 fireworks in 50 minutes. 
Jacob and Chase hanging out before the fireworks started.
Sarah, a little nervous about the fireworks.  She's not a huge fan of the noise so she wasn't too sure she wanted to be there.
My cousin Ambers daughter Hailie, cutie.

Sarah was responsible for keeping her in the circle of chairs that we made so she wouldn't escape. 

I've never seen fireworks as amazing as these.  I have no idea how they are going to top that next year.  I'm happy to say we were there for the 50th anniversary.  I told my kids that maybe they'll bring their children and grandchildren to the 100th anniversary in another 50 years.
As nervous as she was she was able to take photos on her new ipod touch.  She has like a hundred photos on her ipod.  When it was all done, she said "that wasn't so bad"  So maybe we've overcome the fear of fireworks.  Maybe we can actually stay and watch the fireworks at Disney now.
My handsome son, with his crazy face and sparklers.
hanging out in the camper, out of the heat!  It was so unbearable!
We were able to sneak in a trip to the Turkey Roost with the Buschlen side of the family. 
mmmmm we love it there.
Joel and Sherry
After three days in the heat we finally went in search of a beach.  Terry suggested this little lake in Alger.  It was so nice.  We put our chairs right in the water and hung out for a couple hours.  It was so nice to cool off.

Lots of amazing memories were made over this holiday.  Being with family makes me so happy.  I wish that we all lived close.  Although if we did maybe I wouldn't appreciate being with them all the time. 
Happy 4th of July
