We spent the 4th of July weekend in Shawano at my brother-in-law's parents' place. It really felt like the quintessential holiday weekend. We were at the lake, great weather, in a small town, with family, relaxing, fireworks, bbqs, sparklers, parades. It was a blast! Hopefully we'll be able to enjoy many more summer weekends at this cottage in the future. We got there around noon on Friday and got right to the beach with the kids to make the first of many "lakes" and sandcastles. We later had dinner at the famed Amico's pizza for stuffed crust pizza. If one is ever in the Shawano area, a stop at Amico's is a must!
