4th of July Weekend Recap

The 4th is full of friends, family, food and fun!
Kabobs – so delicious!
This year, we headed out to a camp out on Lake Tawakoni just east of Dallas.
We came out here a couple years ago, it was nice to be back.
The water level… man was it low. The end of the dock was about 4 feet of water.
And the water was so warm, it was like a hot tub. Unreal.
But the sight sure was nice to look at!
If only that was my sail boat.
I got to ride in a paddle boat!
I just sat there all day reading a book. It was such a great day vacation.
 Even these little guys down the road were trying to cool off it was so hot!

 As it started to get darker, everyone was headed to get some “toys”!
I got to set off fireworks for the first time.
I was a little nervous – I had no idea what to expect.
I just knew I didn’t want this thing coming at me!

 I’m lovin’ this shot!
 Let’s get ready to rumble!

We got to see our own fireworks but the other camps as well!

It was an awesome day! Couldn’t have asked for better weather!

Lake Champlain Fireworks, 2006

When I lived in Vermont, the Waterfront in Burlington was the prime location to see a fireworks show. They would be set off on the barge in the lake. It was awesome, wicked crowed but awesome!
I think watching fireworks is my favorite thing to do on the 4th. Turns me into a kid every year.
Enjoy!
