Fourth of July started for us on July 3rd this year. It was a special treat for us – it is the first July 4 that Kai and Nora have really been able to celebrate in the USA. In the past we’ve arrived on July 4 but were too jet-lagged to enjoy it.
Our big fireworks were on July 3rd when Shell Lake had their display. Color us impressed – not only were there big crowds but the fireworks far exceeded expectations. Each time we thought they hit the finally it turned out there was still more.
The big event on the 4th of July was a Duluth Huskies game (they won 2-1). Hard to imagine being more American than eating a hot dog at a baseball game on the 4th of July.
We capped off the 4th with an unexpected fireworks display over Bass lake that had to have Smokey the Bear needing a change of pants had it been any drier out there!
