Celebration with Fireworks

Today started out kinda slow but ended with a bang. A little shopping, and on the way up to the lake and Park, we encountered mega traffic-a line of cars all the way through Arnold's Park moving 3 to 5 miles an hour! The calm during the week gone, this resort area came alive today! There was an antique boat show at the marina by the park and ofcourse the antique car show. Avoiding as much traffic as I could, I drove down some back streets by the lakeside and came across a pioneer indian memorial.
The Abbie Gardner Memorial in the location of the Great Spirit Lake Massacre, at which time Abbie Gardner, a little girl was kidnapped by the Indians. She was the only survivor. No boat ride today, the wind was blowing and white caps on the lake caused me to chicken out!
We took a walk down by the water's edge and looked at some of the quaint little resorts in the area. We decided to wait until tomorrow when the Celebration is over and everyone is headed home to go to the park and try to take our boat ride. It'll depend on if the wind is whippin' it up tomorrow again. Last night there was loud music and booming drums til after 11 oclock. Tonight a little after 10, there was a loud boom and we were suprised by a very nice fireworks show. It would serve as my fourth of July, since I slept through the one at Amana! The guy that is interested in buying a Holiday Rambler, e mailed me and wanted pictures. So I spent some time tonight sending him 10 pictures.
That may be the end of it....or not.....we'll see. Now I need to start looking a liitle bit in earnest. Haven't seriously looked at any coaches for 2 years, I'm out of practice. Tomorrow we will finish up here by going to the Emporium, browsing in some shops and having lunch at a neat little cafe that looks out over the lake. Then it'll be pack it up time and ready to rock n roll Monday Morning!
