It’s All About Water Guns

As far as 4th of July weekend goes, this was a cooler water year. It was warm enough for the adults to get in but not too hot. One year we had to put bags of ice in the pool to cool it down. One thing about this 4th, we had more kids than usual […]

Lansing Fireworks

In 2012 a volunteer was killed while assisting after the Lansing fireworks. He was among the crew disposing of fireworks that had not discharged during the show.
