This was a big year for us with our first 4th of July post-Gull Lake. We had new memories to make and new traditions to create. All in all, it was a wonderful week and we certainly had a lot of time to play and relax together.
Seventeen of us - our family, Alex and Sarah and their girls (along with Angela!), Genny and Jason, and Pam - took on Sault Ste. Marie! We split up to sleep among John's condo on the river and two campsites at the campground next door with two tents and a camper, but spent most of our days together. We saw the sights, shopped, visited favorite spots, drank coffee from the best coffee shops, took long walks, and spent hours around the campfire. There was something for everyone!
These are some of our favorite photos and memories - not in order. :)
