The kids and I spent Fourth of July with my brother and his family at his father-in-law's Michigan lake house. Tucked away, the private lake has a few houses circling around it's shores.
We swam and fished all weekend. Long water weeds populated the edges and so we had to carefully swim through them while watching out for water snakes. It made for an interesting journey out to the middle, where one of the lake residents had placed a big water trampoline. We played for hours!

The girls weren't too interested after awhile; standing in one place got too boring. My brother trapped turtles as well. Apparently, they make for good food. We admired the ugly turtle, but Liam had a great time watching Uncle Ben kill and disembowel the turtle. He took lots of pictures. Ewww!
Talk about an education!
We spent lots of quality time with the cousins and Papa Scott. Roasted marshmallows over the fire and watched fireworks until the mosquitoes drove us indoors.
