Happy Independence Day!!!! (July 3-5, 2009)


For the 4th of July weekend, I went over to Chautauqua for the weekend to celebrate the holiday with family. Unfortunately, Jay was still on the boat, although the evening of the 4th, they went by Sarnia/Port Huron and spent most of the evening in the St Clair River/Lake St Clair.



Here's Indy doing her celebrating
