We spent the 4th of July on – where else – the boat! We had beautiful sunny skies for a change, and enjoyed lots of food and laughter with our friends. I was hesitant about boating today, because we were planning to stay out until dark to watch the fireworks from the lake, and I wasn’t sure how the girls would handle 8 hours on the boat. I wasn’t even sure how I would handle 8 hours on the boat. But the girls once again exceeded my expectations and handled the day’s activities like they’ve been doing it all their lives (which is kind of the case!). They joined us in our eating frenzy:
They supervised the hamburger grilling:
They laughed at all of Pappy’s jokes:
And they even enjoyed the fireworks display with everyone:
They weren’t scared by the loud booms or the bright bursts. They simply stared at the beautiful display with the same amazed expression as the rest of us:
Happy Fourth of July, everyone! Thanks to our troops, past and present, for giving us independence and keeping us free!
