4th of July Fun

This year We took a 4th of July road trip to South Dakota to Linda's aunt and uncle's house. Linda's aunts, uncles, and cousins came from all over the country for the weekend, and it was great seeing everyone.

We were nervous about the nearly 10 hour trip, but Lincoln did very well in the car. Each way he needed a couple of hours of his new TV obsession (The Little Einsteins) to keep him pacified, but overall it was an easy drive. We'll post pictures of our "scenic stops" in the next post.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. Jerry and Irene have a great house that overlooks the Missouri river. It has a small indoor swimming pool and comes with all the great lake toys - boat, jet ski, etc. We could have stayed an entire week and not gotten bored.

Here are some pictures from the trip...and yes, that is a picture of a turkey being deep-fried in the driveway (this is America, right?).
