that sounds like fun but too far for me

Since its on a weekend this year we'll be heading up to my Mom's house up in Metaline for the weekend. Im trying to talk my 4yr old son into camping out in a tent out in the yard. Metaline puts on a display you can see really well from my mom's deck and also they allow people to shoot off fireworks. I'll deffinetly get some fishing in at some of the area lakes too....i still havent even got my license yet.......ie havent been fishing this year yet....been spending all my time in the garden and yard
