Celebrating the 4th of July - All Day Long





After a very long, cool, wet, spring, summer arrived in time to celebrate the 4th of July - and none too soon. Sam and Arney slipped over from Spokane to commemorate our nation's birth and to join us for some serious lake time.

Hayden Lake was alive with boating activity of all kinds, and we enjoyed drop-in visits from the Stanleys by motor and the Gates by sail. Tom paddled his kayak for the first time of the season while Sam fished and I tackled logic puzzles on the dock.

Sadly, the high cost of fuel was the likely reason for no boat parade. However, fly-overs by a pair of Bald Eagles more than made up for the absent water-skiing gorilla.

  1. This post makes me pumped to come home next weekend! I can't wait to take advantage of all North Idaho has to offer. Save a spot for me on the dock!
