Day 6: Friday, July 4th: Independence Day! We relaxed at the campground and went on a fun bike ride with everyone. The kids played in the lake; we relaxed some more at the campground and went to a fun 4th of July parade at the Lake Hotel.

Jackson woke up and his eye was swollen shut from a mosquito bite on his forehead. He thought it was so cool! This actually happened to me when I was little too. I guess he inherited his reaction to mosquitos from his mommy. We went through about 2 bottle of repellent in 4 days.
We went on a fun bike ride on a scenic drive (Gull Point) which was closed because the lake was so high that water covered half the road. It made it really fun on the bikes.
The cousins played on the beach and in the water. I don't know how they stand that cold water. Brrrr! Sarah, Jackson, Hannah, Abby, Max, and Bailey.
Abby and Jackson know what camping is all about!
