Finally the 4th! I'm still getting used to the idea of not all being together at Gull Lake, but we did have a great day. It started early, because some people wanted to get up for the sunrise. Those people were able to fall right back to sleep...but not all of us. It wasn't much of a sunrise because it was very foggy, but seeing the sun slowly break through the mist was lovely.
I got in a quick solo walk before everyone was up, got a few groceries, then we were off on our Soo Locks boat tour! The weather was perfect and the passengers were in a holiday mood. Eddie and Mary got to go through the locks for the first time and everyone learned a lot.
We spent the afternoon at Sherman Park - we hadn't been in many years but it's a great place to go swimming, or as the kids told me, playing Ninja Warrior. After the park, we headed into town for the parade. It was our first evening parade, which was kind of nice! We ate hot dogs with all the best sides, the kids did poppers and sparklers, and then we got to watch another dazzling fireworks display. Happy 4th of July!
