Happy Forshus Du Ly!

Isla has been looking forward to "Forshus Du Ly" or as some call it, the 4th of July, like it was Christmas.  She has been so excited.  She remembers exactly what we were doing last year in detail and can't wait for it to happen again.  Last year we went to Sandpoint with my dad and Aunt Jenni.  We had a great spot on the beach.  We swam and walked around the cute little town and got ice cream.  Then during the firework show we huddled under a blanket and ate m &m's.  It's understandable why she loves this holiday.

This year my Mom and Terry invited us to their friends cabin on Loon Lake.  Terry made the best monterey chicken sandwhiches for lunch.  We hung out in paddle boats and kayaks on the lake.  Isla splashed around in the water.  I was the only one to actually dive in.  I paid for it.  It was pretty cold, but lakes were meant to be jumped into.  What was most impressive were the fireworks.  There is no official show on Loon Lake so each cabin brings their own fireworks.  I swear the people next to us must have spent $1,000 on fireworks.  It was the best show we've ever seen.  We sat on the dock and it was like the fireworks were above our head.  The show went on for about 25 min.  It was so impressive.  I felt like we needed to send the neighbors a thank you note because our contribution of pop its and roman candles didn't quite measure up:)  All in all it was a good time.  Happy Forshus Du Lai!
