When I think of the Fourth of July, I always think about our family cottage in Northern Michigan. It's been in the family for half a century and holds a special place in my heart. I haven't been there on the Fourth for quite a few years now, but hope to get up there again soon for the holiday. Specific things always stick out when I think of celebrating the 4th at Mill Point.
Family. Laughter. Board games and 500 piece puzzles. Sand. Tubing and water skiing. Sailing. Ice cream socials. Garden Tractor rides and camp songs. The blueberry patch. Walks in the woods. Deer sightings. 'Camp outs' on the porch. S'mores. Fireworks. Talent shows. Go-cart rides. National Cherry Festival. Swimming. Strawberry jam. Bug spray. Hot chocolate. Pancakes. The climbing tree. Porcupines. Sunblock. Sitting on the raft.

happy 4th!!!
my fave 4th of july was camping in the georgia mountains with my fam.
such good times!
Your family cottage sounds fantastic! It's funny, but since I've been out of the country for several fourth of July celebrations and/or working to meet some sort of deadline usually in the summer months, I always find this holiday sort of anticlimactic. Grilling and chilling for a couple of hours is the most I've come to expect of it.
Missed you , Matt and your sister and her family this weekend. Weather and water were beautiful , both deep blue in hue. Company was great , too .. 30 when all arrived !(:
