~ Great Holiday ~

Wow!  What a great holiday weekend...   my brother in law had his annual party for the 4th on Friday.  It was fabulous.   There was a good 600 people there total.  It's several business' that put on the bash and what a bash it was!!   Pig, smoked turkey and brisket.  Lobster, crab legs, clams.  Burgers and dog.  Every type of salad you could imagine.  Enough desserts to run a bakery for a month!  Out of this world!   Speaking of out of this world... the fireworks.  What a show!  
I've included a ton of pictures..............

Saturday it was a rerun.  Food, food, and more food.  We went out the beach.  Family lives right on the lake.   It had been pretty cool and rainy here.  Yesterday the sun was out but it was windy.   Lake Erie looked more like the ocean surf.  The kids didn't care they went in anyway.

My niece brought along her new puppy.   What a cutie!  She is lucky I didn't snap him and take him home!!
'Bug' loved him too..........
