4th of July at the Lake
I know I'm a couple of days behind with posts, but I just can't get caught up. We are melting here at the lake with record high temps in the 100's, as I'm sure many of you are as well.
We've been spending a lot of time in the water or else just hanging out in the house, with the A/C blasting and playing card games.
Fourth of July is always a huge party at the lake. Everyone on our block is here and we spend a lot of time running back and forth between houses. We also celebrate Louie's birthday during the holiday, so Tony and Alex baked up his favorite cookies - snickerdoodles - in patriotic colors.....
It's our lake tradition to always have a fish fry on the 4th and everybody looks forward to it. We defrosted 275 fish fillets.....
By 10:30 am Kyle was breading them.....
By 11:15 Louie starts frying them....
And by 1:00 we are finished. We pile them up on plates and Louie starts taking them around to each house on the block. By the time we're finished, all the fish are gone and everybody is happy and has a full tummy!
While waiting for the fireworks and the evening party, the kids were all piled around the kitchen table looking at stuff on Pinterest. I thought it was funny that they had 3 laptops going......
Each 4th of July our neighbors have a giant party and evening buffet and invite the whole block over for dinner, drinks and to watch the fireworks.....
The full moon was amazing!
The little kids were playing on a slip and slide and also running around with sparklers....
We had great seats for the fireworks too. All the lights you see are the boats out on the lake. We used to take the pontoon boat out for the fireworks, but it's such a madhouse getting back home afterwards that we stopped doing that. Front row yard seats are much easier and safer!
After the fireworks we went back home and ate Louie's birthday cupcakes....
4th of July at the lake is always a fun event!

Fish Fry
Last week Louie managed to entice me out of bed at the crack of dawn one morning to go white bass fishing. (White bass are different than regular bass. They are more like stripers.) When we're at the lake, I don't usually get up before the sun rises, but on that particular morning I was glad I did. Here's the view as we pulled away from our dock. It was worth getting up early just for a view like this of God's handiwork!
We met a friend of ours out on the lake in the "secret" spot and started fishing....
Within an hour we had a nice bucket of fish....
We took them back to the dock and Louie cleaned them up right away. He uses an electric knife and he's quite good at it!
The dogs like to come down to the dock and inspect things....
But our little guy always likes to try to steal the fish...
We soak the fish in cold water all day and then that night we had a fish fry. We bread them with Louie's homemade breadcrumbs and then fry them up, nice and crispy....
We also take some fillets, season them, add a little margarine and some lemon juice and cook them on the grill for about 20 minutes....
Either way, they are ummm ummmm good!
