Friends & Fireworks

The guys had another great day of fishing yesterday.  Of course, not quite as good as when the girls were along but they still ran out of bait.  You'd think they'd start taking more!

We had one of my mom's famous lake suppers:  steak, walleye, potatoes & onions on the grill, corn, deviled eggs, and for dessert...cream puffs.  Later in the evening, the Gndsgang and her brother, DTR, came for a visit.  They've been spending the week at their annual Trailride about an hour from here.  Because of the horses, they can't have fireworks so they came to watch the show. 

One of my dad's friends is a big, fireworks guru.  He goes all out every year and now has several others pitch in to buy.  Supposedly, he had $5000 worth this year!  They light them off at the campground which we have a perfect view of from up on our deck.  The guys always go down to the campground to watch and Ray helps light them.  The girls stay at the cabin and watch from the deck.  The show got started around 10:30 as it doesn't get dark here until late.  The finale was at about 12:15 am!  I think it might've been a bit overkill.  Lily & Abby were asleep by 11:30.  There were also some pretty good fireworks going off at other cabins that we could see from the deck.
