On July 4th we headed to Port Austin to meet up with our friends Jeff & Becky, along with their kids Thomas & Andrew for the town parade.

Port Austin Fourth of July Parade
Samantha & Tyler waiting for the next candy throwing float.	This float passed out school sized cartons of milk to the kids.
Tara standing with Drew, with Sam & Tyler in the street.	One of the parade participants was apparently a Red Wings fan.
This guy (and what I assumed was his son) rode around on a unicycle the whole parade. He even juggled while doing so.

    On our way back from the parade, we stopped at the "White Rock Roadside Park" for our annual pictures of the kids on the downed tree.

The park sign by the side of the road.	The plaque describing the white rock.
Tyler trying out the hand pump drinking fountain.	Tara taking her turn pumping water for the kids to drink.
A freighter on Lake Huron.	The white rock in the lake.
Tyler, Samantha, and Drew on the tree stump. Jayden was way too cranky to climb up there with the other kids.
Drew got his turn to sit on the stump...
... followed by Sam...
... then Tyler...
... and finally Jayden. These were the best two shots I could get of her.
