4th of July

We celebrated our country's birthday with a good ol' Minnesota boat parade around Little Pine Lake. The was boat decorated with flags and streamers, and we all showed our patriotism by singing our favorite national songs....Yankee Doodle, Grand Old Flag, America the Beautiful, you get the picture. We all had a great time and I have to say, this is the most patriotic I have ever felt over the 4Th of July. God bless America!












After the boat parade, we all gathered back at the cottage and made old fashioned homemade vanilla ice cream. No fancy electric appliances here....pure Fischback man/woman power.




Everyone took their turn cranking the handle of the ice cream maker. Rule is, if you don't take your turn to crank, then you don't get any ice cream....and this rule is not take lightly.





Here is Daddy and Parker enjoying a taste of grandma's homemade ice cream, YUM! What a spoiled little guy he is.
