Our Unusual Sighting

dcclark caught a glimpse of the elusive Blizzard T. Husky in February. We had an unusual sighting of our own on the 4th of July – a Stormtrooper!

Ok, maybe it was just a costume. But our son got the biggest kick out of him :)

Lake Linden-Hubbell-Tamarack 4th of July Parade – Part 3

Tricia — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:56:50 +0000

My favorite part of the 4th of July parade is the end of the parade. No, not meaning that the parade is over. I love what comes at the end of the parade…

All of the fire trucks!

I love the flashing lights, the sirens and the honking. I had to take a picture of each truck, and here they are…after the jump.

Well, that does it for the 2008 parade. It was tons of fun and our son got tons of candy. I already can’t wait until next year :)

Here are links to Part 1 and Part 2 in case you missed them.

I covered the first part of the Lake Linden-Hubbell-Tamarack 4th of July Parade on Tuesday. Here’s part 2, after the jump…

Stay tuned – there is one more set of pictures from the parade that I will be posting. It’s from my favorite part of the parade – the last, very noisy part of it :)

UPDATE: Here is a link to Part 3.

Lake Linden-Hubbell-Tamarack 4th of July Parade Part 1

Tricia — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 04:23:42 +0000

Last week, we left the Keweenaw to visit family in lower Michigan. It’s rough to leave the area for a whole week, but at the same time it is nice to have a change in scenery. I could have done without the stop and go traffic on southbound I-75 on the way down there, but it did lead to a little adventure cruising some back roads in Northern Michigan. It was fun.

I was still very glad to be back home. We missed the Strawberry Festival in Chassell last weekend, but I have a feeling we’ll have to visit a pick-your-own strawberry place this weekend. Mmmm…love those local strawberries!

I also love the 4th of July! My favorite summer day in the Keweenaw is the 4th of July. You have the Lake Linden-Hubbell-Tamarack City parade in the morning. Then you have the Copper Harbor fireworks at night. Of course, there are other happenings scattered across the Copper Country, but I look forward to those two events every year.

We haven’t always watched the 4th of July parade – it became a yearly tradition after our son was born and we lived in Tamarack City. We no longer live there, but we still watch the parade there instead of Lake Linden or Hubbell.

Without further ado, here are some pics from the parade. Since I took quite a few pics, I’ll split up the posts for those who have a slower connection.

Stay tuned for more photos…

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day today. The sun is shining, there are a few clouds in the sky, and the temps are in the 70s. It was a wonderful day for the parade in Lake Linden – Hubbell – Tamarack City.

I’ll have more pictures from the parade later. Right now, I’ll just post this one pic from the parade until I can get the rest ready.

Happy 4th!
