The 4th of July was great - spent at Lake Merwin. It was not exactly the weather we were hoping for, but we did have a dry Friday and got in some tubing, skiing, and wakeboarding. Brent & Buffy came up and spent the day with us. We got rain on Saturday night, which ended up soaking the Schickie's tent and sleeping bags, and with more rain in the forecast, we decided to leave a bit early. Not to mention, we had some neighbors (Dave, Todd, Amanda, Becky - to be exact) that liked to get plastered, then come back at 1:00 am and talk/shout til 4 am - and we were a bit sleep-deprived. The Schickedanz's went on home and we ended up staying at the Salmon Creek B&B until Sunday. We played games, watched some Shasta footage, ate s'mores and did some hot-tubbing. All in all, a great 4th of July. There ya' go.
