Fouth of July in Gay, MI

If you’ve never been to the Fourth of July festivities in Gay, MI, you are definitely missing out. It’s..something.

First stop, Walmart for a cooler, ice and beer.

We were running late, so we had park and hike in. Note: get there more than 5 minutes before the parade starts.

We got our spot picked out and before we knew it, the parade was starting.

We saw the typical parade stuff.

And the not so typical. This is the stuff that makes this parade so awesome.

The parade was on the short side this year, but no less entertaining.

James displays his lack of bladder control where he dropped a ketchup smothered hot dog on his shorts.

Hula hoop contest!

The guy who can’t even do the hula hoop game on the Wii decides to enter. Must have been the beer heat.

I don’t even think it went around once.

Anyway, we left shortly afterwards to go to the beach at Big Betsy. I stood in the water for a few seconds, it was freezing.

4th of July debris.

Beach flowers. I thought they were sweet peas at first, but now I’m not certain.

Onward! The Lac La Belle Lodge was our next destination.

We made a quick stop for ice cream at the Ahmeek Streetcar Station before heading home.


Lots more pictures in the gallery.
