What did I do this summer (part 3 of ?)

SO, what should we remember next…

How about MOSSY ROCK and the Lumberjack Festival??

We drove up on Friday evening, pitched a tent at the lake and built a rope swing for the kids.  Bryce, Shantel, Zoey, Ben and Grandpa joined us.  We haven’t done much camping this summer so this was a weekend we were all looking for. 

The Rope Swing was by far the biggest hit -

When Kenneth was young, his family would block out this weekend every year and spend the weekend in Morton and on the lake.  We have decided that as long as we live here, we will make it an annual event as well.  The campground was really nice, not to busy or crowded and there was plenty of room to run and play.

Saturday Morning we got up early and went to a pancake breakfast that was being hosted by one of the “Clubs” and then went to the parade…

What a great shopping cart – don’t you think???

This is a beam from the Twin Towers.  It was being brought to the area to be placed at a memorial that is being created in this area.  I found it very interesting to actually see what a “twisted” piece of steel looks like after working in the Fireproofing Industry for several years and talking about and hearing about what happens to steel when heated too quickly. – Sorry, the ramblings of Melissa can be a bit off the wall.

The Festival was next, after wandering through the flea market a bit.  And who can forget the FOOD – all kinds, all fattening and all good.  The boys had never seen anything like it, except on a WII game and they thought it was pretty cool to see it “for real”.

The day was a great one, not too hot, not too cold, and packed full of fun and food and by the time we got home we were all tuckered out and ready for bed.
