God Bless da U.S.A.

Our first 4th of July in the U.P. and the first couple weeks of summer I'd say have been a pretty big success.
We started off the long weekend at Black Rocks Brewery then brought a pizza home from Vango's  and were able to show our new place to Erik who was up for the weekend from Grand Rapids. The next day we had a perfect beach day with friends and family. Even the dogs Thule, Leinie, and Tucker enjoyed the sunshine. Taking a dip in Lake Superior was even in the cards!

Spending some time in Gladstone too we were able to play some beanbags, visit with family and friends, take in the parade, sing patriotic songs at church, and even get lunch at The Up North Lodge . The Nyberg men seemed to be quite taken with the ribs.


The weekend was wrapped up with wakeboarding, boating, and even a plane ride on a 1946 Piper plane. Flying lessons here we come!! (Wishful thinking...) Thanks Warm family for sharing your wonderful cabin on Dana Lake.
















Fireworks in Marquette were phenomenal. The way they incorported the ore dock with fireworks above and below made it an unforgettable show for our first 4th in Marquette.
