Independence Day Weekend in South Bend

Emily snapped a photo of me as we made our was past Badin Hall to St. Mary's lake for a picnic on the first weekend of July.

Before we settled down, we took my little inflatable boat out on to the lake. Emily was first to pose with the Dome and Basilica in the background.

And here I am between strokes and with the iconic Notre Dame spires behind me.

When we'd had enough sun, it was time for a picnic on the shore.

A curious family of geese visited us. The goslings were very cute but we were startled by the extremely protective mother!

That weekend, coinciding with the July 4th Independence Day celebrations, meant that the Silverhawks baseball game would be concluded with a fireworks display. Emily, Ian, Sarah and I headed downtown to watch the Silverhawks get beaten and have a couple of beers too.
