So for the Fourth of July, to try to follow the traditional have a BBQ and eat apple pie. We felt we needed to be somewhere that was conducive to have a BBQ. So I invited a few friends (Brenda, Danni, John, Dave, Libby, Jeff, Kim and Tyson), to spend the Fourth of July weekend at my parents place in upstate NY a little place called Ogdensburg, aka Amishville, because it is that quaint, Amish reside there. It's a house on the St. Lawerence river, which is literal across from Canada. The weather wasn't the best, but we made the best of it, played games, ate delicious food thanks to Brenda :) sat on the dock and just hung out. It was very relaxing and felt good to have a quazi family feeling for such an important day in history. It was our friend John's 25th b-day so we had a little cake and such for him, and even paid our tributes to our country with a flag ceremony, only let down was no fireworks, illegal in NY.
Then half of the people left and Kim, Libby and I crossed over to Ottowa, Canada to take Tyson to the airport and to make a day of it. We then drove through the Adriondacks and pit stopped in Lake Placid, to meet a bobb sledder who knows some of my bobb sled friends... small world.
It was a very rejuvenating and much needed get away for all parties involved :)

Aw my sweet Lyndee. You live the life that we all dream to. One day we will see on your blog "after we circumnavigated the globe in our yacht and saved some African children. . . " You are a truly a dreammaker.
