Vacation time in the U.P. Day 5

Happy 4th of July!!
Max and Megan got up early and went into town with Lauren to watch the parade. When they got back it was time to go tubing again. This time it was Bill, Heidi, Max, Megan, Tyler and Lauren. Max rode in Daddy's lap and they shared a tube.
About 10 minutes into our ride, the sky started to get dark and it was clear that a storm was blowing in. Here we are in the middle of the river sitting in tubes, the wind starts picking up and low and behold here comes the rain. It wasn't a gentle rain either, it was borderline hail pounding on all our backs. Max had his head buried in his life jacket and the rest of us had most of our bodies under the water holding on to our tubes. You could see the next round of the storm coming up the river at us, so we could prepare ourselves. We made it through the rapids, got out and did the rapids portion one more time and then we saw Scott there to pick us up, so we bailed for camp. Good thing we did, because then the thunder and lightning started up. I am glad it waited until after we exited the water :)

Once we got back to camp and dried off, it was time to eat and time for fireworks.

Outdoor fun 3
