Lake Day 5 out of 5 Friday

We can already call Friday a 5 out of 5 lake day. Perfect weather on that day with highs around 90ish and mostly sunny skies. I will also do a lake day for the 4th of July as well. Although not related to Friday the heat starts to pick up and with it the rain chances as well into the 4th of July.
