Independence Day Weekend - July 2-4, 2005

On Saturday, we drove to Woodward Reservoir (near Oakdale) for a weekend of camping and playing on the lake. The campers were me, Shawnna, Leanna, Jeff, Mike, Uncle Dan, Aunt Gayle, Marcus, Heidi, Norm, Paul, Hector, "Big Head" John and Vicki (and some of her friends). The weather was hot, but there was a bit of a breeze. The lake wasn't as crowded as in years past, which was nice.

We went tubing (being pulled behind the boat by a rope while sitting on an inflatable tube), wakeboarding, rode the Sea-Doo, lounged by the water, played ball with the dogs (6) in the water, launched water balloons at our neighbors, sat around the fire at night, took down Mike's tent while he was sleeping (pictured below) among other fun things.

We drove back home on Monday to a nice shower. At night, we stood by the park next to our house and watched several different fireworks shows going on throughout Tracy. Then, much needed rest...
